It seems like new skills are being absorbed by players within Brads permeable system .I'm seeing more players keeping defenders on hip and navigating the paint Walling off has spread from Theis as players see it work for Tatum, I think I saw Tatum or Grant wall someone off.
The kids will benefit from picking up techniques in screening and the all important timing.
Did you see Kanter dive for a loose ball.
Playing defence with active hands and moving your feet. Our kids are picking up the joy of beautiful. orchestrated team defence played on a string .Along with moving the ball for a better shot and penetrate and kick .Grant Williams has made passing leaps in this area.
These injuries have benefited Javonte, Grant ,Semi and Theis.
Marcus is having fun passing,Theis has elevated his game, Grant is hitting open shots .Kanter getting pocket passes from Smart and if you run the court as a big,the players are looking. Brady passes from Smart and longball from Gordon.
Semi has been experimenting playing through contact taking it to the body of the bigs.
As the permeable system allows the skill levels rise and attention to detail the timing on screens ,timing of cutters ,movement off ball and the applause from crowds that transcend the too much one on one iso ball.
Kemba must be pinching himself with Celtics style of basketball and an empowering coach.
