Isn’t this an example of great athleticism but ultimately a bad play from Hailburton? I always thought one of the benefits of pulling up your C for a screen, aside from the screen itself, is also pulling the Defending C out of the box to clear up the lane to attack. Here Halliburton blows by the perimeter defender but still moves to congested space. This keeps the center congested after Haliburton dishes the ball out. Aside from Malik getting blown by, this didn’t seem that terrible for the Bucks D.
I have a question.
