And this is where guys like Lee, Sully, KO, Jerebko go to work and provide solid passes to open shooters around the perimeter/or make an extra pass down low. This is one of key components of the Spurs and GSW offensive system. But it can't be done unless the player receiving the ball down low has some decent to above average passing skills.
I wonder because of this recent "tweak" that Zeller has not been playing much (on top of the other issues he has been having). He is probably the worse passing big man we have on the team
This is something I noticed too. The action in the low post is key for the offensive system the C's are trying to run. I think the part you are missing is not only does our bigs need to have above average passing skills but they also have to be some threat in the low post. Two players in particular that excel are both are Sully and Lee.
If you look at what the C's were doing when they were winning, it look something like this
1) Having pace and being successful in the fast break
2) Looking into the low-post for bigs to score
3) Attacking the rim via pentration
4) All of this leads to better looking 3 point looks.
When the C's focus on shooting more 3s and unsuccessfully having pace and fast breaks usually leads to losses.
