That shot is so silky smooth and so are his handles. I’m glad we got a coach like Bee to develop this kid along with the rest of the team.
Honestly, we still don't know if Beilein is good or not. Let's wait and see before we make declarations of how good he is as far as coaching and development go.
I do see good signs, but i'm going to have to see what he wants to accomplish with each and everyone individually. Passing and sharing the ball is good as far as building a balanced offense, but if it comes on account of individual progression of our most prized players( i.e having the ball in our PGs hands more and developing their iso skills/passing as ball dominant as opposed to giving TT/Nance, etc the ball more) then it's sort of an issue.
What I like about Beilein is his ability to teach and that works well with players who want to be coached. Being a Buckeye alum I was always impressed at how well coached they were without top line talent.
i guess I’m old school but I enjoy coaches that get the best out of their players and players who allow themselves to be coached.
Hypothetical question: You have to pick now, you have the option to choose either Morant or Garland, who do you pick?
How do you know that a shot will translate? when a player has such a beautiful effortless shot with perfect arc and most of the makes are swishes.
Hopefully that's still a valid question a few months/years down the road.Hypothetical question: You have to pick now, you have the option to choose either Morant or Garland, who do you pick?

Before the draft I still would have gone Garland, give me Steph over RussHypothetical question: You have to pick now, you have the option to choose either Morant or Garland, who do you pick?
he just looks like a modern star pg even though he didnt do a heap today

Ja Morant is a better passer than Russ and honestly just not quite as athletic. He is like Rondo with a better shot, more hops, better burst and worse D lol.
i think in the playoffs shooters just perform better. Especially in the PG spot. If Ja had better defense then i owuld change some things.
Garland needs to have the ball in his hands and put up tons of shots. Why does Coby White take 22 shots and Garland does not have any Green light when the Bulls are way further in the rebuild? There has to be a priority and pecking order for a rebuilding team, and shot attempts and usage should not be divided equally. I don't like it from what I have seen. I hope Beilein adjusts his philosophy from college.
Garland had +13 last night and he is not being put in a position to affect the game like he can, even this early it's apparent what he can and can not do. He needs to run the PnR or come off screens on the move as the ball handler.
Makes no sense to start Delly. I don't care that he is trying things. You need to try things, but the right things. We know what we have in TT and Nance. Try your camp guys. He barely gave them any minutes. Get your new drafties feet wet and play them more and tell them to put shots up. Delly should be the mentor and mostly a catch and shoot guy at this point in the rebuild. He hsould not control the ball so much.
fucking love my new avatar. Fucking sexy.

Ozone makes no sense. The defensive PGs in the NBA don't make the impact and win championships. The shooters and the defensively inept do.
...defense is cool and fun, but it doesn't matter anymore as teams will shoot open 3's on almost every possession regardless of who your pg defender is.
The most important trait for a PG nowadays is the ability to shoot off the dribble on better than league average, and if you can also pass and get inside the lane it's game over.
