Nice to see-learning on the job

Semi  being talked to by McCarty and rooks listening -then Marcus gives semi some words--it  seems rotations off and some in between coverage.
Later in season a lot more games will be of this nature-just no defensive intensity by opponents.
Nuggets at end of some serious back to backs.
Jaylen will feast 2nd half of season.Nobody mentioned Jaysons bad game even young guys get shattered after being used to college schedule.
What semi picks up for the rest of season will pay dividends in playoffs as physical defense takes over.
The development of lineups with mostly youth with a couple of anchor vets is the right way to bring these kids along.

...The development of lineups with mostly youth with a couple of anchor vets is the right way to bring these kids along.

It is, but there are hazards along the way, like the Nuggets game.  CBS had to use Jayson, Jaylen, Theis, Semi (these 4 have COMBINED less than 3 years of NBA experience) in the rotation.  In the post-game, Kyrie said the injuries are a real issue on defense especially with the defensive leader Horford not playing.  Numerous missed assignments and rotations turns Gary Harris and Jamal Murray into all-world backcourt.

Semi has to cover so many positions with many different combos of players-
Also get Hanlon up from Hoops House to help semi get his confidence and shot back
.
He IS too good a shooter to be missing so badly-
