I do see that he shrinks the floor. Everyone sees it.
I just don't think it's a big enough problem to then throw away almost everything else for a guy who can give them that ONE thing. Bennett starts playing better, then I'm all for it. But right now, for the sole sake of floor spacing, I just don't think it's a wise move.
And I wish our coaches would get in his ear and just start telling him to trust the shot. He seems like the type of guy who is terrified of making the wrong play, so much so that even when it's the right play, he'd rather play it safe.
Now, I'll take that over some goof like Nick Young, who doesn't give a shit about the right play ever, but he needs more confidence, and I have no idea why he lost it in the first place.
That said, the screen cap howler took looks bad to begin with. He's got two guys behind him, Kyrie and Miles, effectively eliminating two offensive players from the play, One of them, preferably Kyrie, needs to be heading down the corner and I have no idea why Gee is taking a step in-wards right at that point.
Of course, it's only one cap so maybe gee was about to run the base-line and Miles was gonna head to his corner. Dunno.
I usually see a set like this a lot actually. Off the top of my head, it seems like Kyrie never drifts down into the corner unless it's to throw an entry pass to Bynum, and Gee usually seems to be on the weakside corner. Granted, this is off the top of my head so I could be wrong. If you hit play, TT swings the ball back to Irving and the possession ends with a pick and roll Irving jumper. I wanna stress how common this particular set is, it seems to happen every single time TT touches the ball at the top of the key when our starting lineup is on the floor.
