It wouldn't have mattered. If you looked at how Green neutered Hawk since taking him out of the rotations, his movement game is mostly gone. He's just out there sitting in one spot and relocating in a very small area now. The only difference between Trey and Hawkins/Ryan is that they're willing to launch shots with a hand in their face and will do it repeatedly.

The fault is all Willie. He refused to develop and incorporate these skillsets into the offense and would only allow Zion, BI, and CJ to create offense the entire year. Now we have a bunch of guys struggling to step up and carry the stars because we were too over reliant on those guys to create for everyone else and their roles are pretty much set in stone because of it. Now OKC neutralized CJ and BI forcing our role players to do a lot more than they were designed to do throughout the year and they struggle.

Yup. Meanwhile do you know what the okc coach philosophy is for his players? He wants everyone on the floor, including the center, to be able to dribble, pass and shoot. He calls it the 5 out philosophy. This is where the NBA is headed and we aren’t training our young guys to do this or drafting this way. For instance guys like JV cant dribble, Larry cant shoot, Dyson cant shoot, Hawkins and Trey cant creat or dribble. It was why we were completely exposed.
