Phenomenal breakdowns! Your breakdowns have really increased my appreciation for the team and enjoyment of the season as a whole. Thanks for your hard work!
Just think about this for a second. You WANT to see the opposing team at their best because you want to see how good our team is. You WANT to see the best of the Suns. We're in an amazing spot when we WANT to see other good teams face the Wolves.
I have no idea why they don't just keep running this same action for KAT when he comes back too. He doesn't have the same quantity of rolling as other big players in the NBA but he is usually elite at that too. Just have 1 or the other do it repeatedly until the other team can stop it lol.
I don't think KAT naturally rolls enough out of screens to trust him in this. The league plays for him to pop out of it more often so they run some other stuff usually for him. I have seen them put him in this action occasionally but it's definitely something they've decided is geared toward Naz.
I mean it's just a high screen option like almost every team in the nba uses. The only major distinction is that Naz loves to shoot so that adds the flare option. KAT does the exact same thing.
Lets be honest here. KAT has become replaceable and frankly unnecessary. Wolves could use that salary cap in more useful ways with Naz performing like that.
I disagree with this one. We were the best team in the west when kat was playing. we're up there without Kat, for sure. But towns is still a better player. and that's no shade on Naz. And having someone who would be a top 3 player on over half the teams in the league be your best man off the bench It's profoundly important, especially come playoff. Time, where there will be fouls. And grinds. And depth matters even more. Keeping towns keeps us in the second apron, but that's fine. Let the billionaires who own the sports franchise pay a premium to have the best team possible. I think we've earned that as a fanbase, honestly
