It's painful to watch brown handle the ball so much with smart out. I know he exploded in the first half, but was very sloppy still with his handle.

By running the offense through AL,  you would pull a big away from the paint, opening more driving lanes for Tatum and Brown. Also allows PP to stand in the corner for the open 3, instead of being useless at the top of the key standing right next to Tatum, not spacing the floor.


Thoughts?

To run an offense through somebody, they have to be willing and able to score themselves.  I counted at least four instances in the second half alone where Al got deep into the paint and didn't even look at the rim.

His passing and decision-making can be part of the offense for sure, but we aren't running anything through him.

Was pulling my hair out when he was doing this. He needs to be a scoring threat
