Asik sets good screens. AD and Ryno are pretty weak with them.

Can't put it all on those guys though. Guards have to use them the right. A lot of times our guards go too early or don't set up their defender to run into the screen the right way.

Jrue and EG know how to use ADs screens pretty well. Tyreke is hit or miss. He over dribbles too often, going back and forth instead of just using the screen. I've seen AD getting more and more frustrated with it the past few games.

Exactly, but is that a player or coach problem? I hate monty so I'm always gonna want to blame him, but I'm not always rational with my monty hate

I'm not the biggest Xs and Os guys so maybe you can explain this one to me. More often than not it seems like our guards will go opposite the screen and not use the block being set up for them, and it's not even some quick direction change thing. It seems to work out to get them free, but getting free by not using a block seems counter intuitive to me. Is it pretty common around the league to not use the screen that the play is designed around?
