When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

not enough people cut for whatever reason and neither ingram or cj have the athleticism to really beat defenders off the dribble so they rarely draw bigs away from the the rim to help stop them

Remember when Davion Mitchell was being held as this borderline-elite talent on the defensive end, did that remotely come to pass? He doesn't seem physically imposing enough to be more than a situational guy

OK but it is also frustrating to me to see BI casually demonstrate every so often that he can get his shot off against practically anybody, it feels like he should be so much more assertive on offense

understood, but also the last couple posessions were exactly what needs to happen. they can exploit that all night!

iirc, yes, he is normally quite good on defense when his height isn't a limiting factor

Davion’s very good at drawing charges but yea a bit too small statured to get regular minutes. He’s been shooting better but Keon Ellis came in and took his spot

him being more assertive on offense is taking middies like 80% of the time. he basically refuses to take 3s and rarely gets close enough to the rim to attempt layups

nothing encapsulates the modern nba better than fox pulling up for a fast break 3 while the pels cover the other three dudes
