During our challenging start of the season, I noticed that we are trying to achieve too many things simultaneously. What do I mean by that?
Here are some of the tenets;
- Integrate high usage player, GH, in the offense while he is on 25 min restriction and recovering of a tough injury.
- Continue to develop young wings, Brown and Tatum, while still aiming high.
- Trying to keep Rozier ready and in the last season's form, not diminishing his PT too much.
- Give Morris the ball and enough minutes as he is a proud player performing at a high level.
- BTW, Kyrie and Al need the ball in the midst of all and they are without a doubt the smartest offensive players on the squad. They started the year somewhat reserved, making room for the aforementioned, but we are clearly better with the more touches they get.
- Keep Smarts minutes near his career average. We are not a rebuilding team anymore, but this policy is still in place
The things we are trying to achieve simultaneously take a toll on the results this early in the year. Maybe we will simplify the schemes or even go away from one of these priorities, but for now -
We are trying to do too much.
