re: Willie Green “We will look to get the ball more in Zion’s hands at the start of games”

Well we put the ball in Zion's hands alot at the beginning of the last game, and he dribbled it off his foot into traffic half the time

What are you talking about? Nurkic poked it away once and it was a turnover. We also got two Zion layups and the assist to JV. We were down only 4 when Zion came out. We were down much more than that when he came back in.

Putting the ball in Zion's hands more has been the obvious change. Zion isn't a spacer but yet he spends a lot of time in the corner to start games. The only actions he is directly involved in with the starters are the dribble hand off from JV with him coming up from the corner or a post up in transition. Again, our best stretch of basketball in the last few years occurred with the offense revolving around Zion. Why are we so stubborn to go back to this????
