Ku makes a good point.  Sticking Thompson in the corner so his defender can double Cade is dumb.  Bring him in to set the screen.  Yes, you are bringing the defender they want to use to double right to Cades doorstep.  But then everything is directly in front of him.  Hitting Thompson as the roll man is much easier when he's in front of you than standing way off in the corner.

It also opens up the defense so they have to rotate.  Nobody is rotating if Cade hits Thompson in the corner.  They will slide to the block to cut off penetration, but they are not closing out on Thompson.  They are begging him to take that shot.

You put Thompson as the roller then defenses will rotate to stop him from dunking.  Then its Beasley/Harris/Tech/THJ open in the corner instead of Thompson.

Yep. Been saying this for 2 years now about Ausar. His most used play type last year was corner three because Monty never figured it out and put him in the worst possible scenario on offense. Hopefully JB will figure it out sooner.

Not only should he be used as the screener, but let him be the DHO hub as well like the Warriors do with Draymond and the Pistons are trying to do with Duren (5 turnovers yesterday).

If you were wondering.  Killian Hayes 12 games in the G-League:

12.5 ppg 5.2 rpg 7.4 apg shooting 42% from the field and 28% from three.

No matter how you feel about the tournament, can we agree playing these games in Vegas is silly?

Such a stale, boring environment.

Him and his brother are tools.  But I do respect how well he reaches out to the fans for the Suns.  This and putting them back on free over the air channels.  You could even contact the Suns and they would send you an OTA antenna for free.  Yeah, its to pump up his bottom line.  But who cares if he gives the fans a better experience.

and all the bulls could get for him was josh giddey.

[Deleterious]

He doesn't even score 6 PPG and shoots about 30% from three.  But he plays some defense and thats his value.  I think $20M per is an overpay.

Pistons fans better get ready.  Beasley is worth more IMO.

I don't really understand these broadcasts.  I guess maybe if you have kids.

Supposedly Brown ran practice this morning then met with the media.  He was in his car on the way to the airport to catch a team flight when he was called and fired over the phone.  So Malone isn't wrong here.  He also coached there for Ranadive and his firing was on of the biggest head scratchers.
