Let’s just say we only have 5seconds left on the clock and you need a bucket, which of this plays will you go with if you were a coach.
A. Giannis guarded by Grant Williams at the perimeter with Siakam, OG Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa in the paint.
B. Steph Curry at the 3pt line with Wemby and Chet contesting the 3.
C. KD for the mid range shot with Wemby contesting and Giannis trying to pick his pocket.
Which are you most comfortable with. It must be a field goal, no ft.
A. Giannis will drive, all 5 defenders collapse on him, he hits Dame for a wide open corner 3. BANG. Game over.
KD. He’ll find a way to shake Wemby off of him. He’s a footwork master in the midrange and has the length and extension. Wemby still has happy feet on the perimeter. KD hits the midrange over 50%.
Even if he finds a way, what about Giannis because he is double teamed.
Giannis helping on the side isn’t a double. If it was a pure double than it’d be a really tough shot. Just shading/helping, he can still find a way.
Kd 100%
I should have made it harder on him then, but you really feel he can get the shot off? I know as a coach I’ll go for him but I don’t know if he can pull it off against the guys contesting.
KD, his midrange is a higher % than Currys 3, and without FTs Giannis is getting smothered in the paint
Will he shoot it over Wemby and Giannis though, I do feel it’s the most realistic here because of KD’s height.
KD, he’s one of the best mid range shooters ever
That’s my play too but I dunno if he will get it off while been contested by Wemby and Giannis
