There are several areas where we’re operating at either a disadvantage or suboptimal state.
One that hasn’t gotten much run in the past few weeks as the conversation has shifted to Mitchell and remained on the coach is the fact that we, by roster construction playing at least 20 minutes per game, often longer with two bigs that can not reliably shoot a 3P shot or really much outside 10-15 feet.
In the modern NBA, that’s just rare. And when you combine with some of the other factors that have been discussed as limiting our offensive potential, it’s pretty major.
Like maybe Mobley and Allen can work in a world where DG and two dead eye wing shooters share the floor with them to start games, start halves, and end games. But that’s not what we have
And maybe DG/DM can work in a world where one or both of the bigs are reliable from outside the lane and even 3P, but that’s not what we have. At least not yet, while it could come in future years, there’s simply no reason to think Mobleys theee point shit is just around the corner.
I’m not sure many coaches, even offensive background coaches can change that dynamic. Certainly some could push it behind what JBB has done, but at its core, I’m not sure this roster works with both pairs of lead guards and non shooting bigs.
(I know, a lot of you have been saying this either in full or in one way or the other much prior to this)
