Early Film Watching Takeaways: I need to see more Horns/Iverson sets involving getting Ty off the ball early in the shot clock and Cam & Ced on ball with Edey in screening action. The team can be a lot more effective if Ty Jerome gets off the ball & comes back to it late into the clock. The Top Action & Spread PNR. Should be reserved for the last 10-12 seconds of the shot clock. (Video 1) In the second unit, I would love to see Omax, Grant, Hendricks, or GG operating as the screen man in the Spread PNR or Top Action to have a more skilled a dangerous threat in the short roll. If you’re not going to play Boozer at the 5 with the bench unit, I’d rather see what one of those options looks like in a small ball lineup. Post is not rebounding, shooting, or protecting the rim well enough to not at least warrant a different look until isaiah Stewart returns. If you insist on playing Post. I love what New Orleans did with Karlo, put him in a corner and allow a more dangerous Forward or Wing to set the High Ball Screen (Grant, Omax, GG, Hendricks, Coward, Wells, Spencer) preferably Grant, GG, or Hendricks.
