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

We have enough evidence watching Zion sitting in the corner and getting iced out of possessions because the team has no idea how to get him involved off ball. We are terrible getting him the ball in traffic in the half court and we are terrible getting him the ball on the low block when he has the defender sealed.

It's nothing new or unusual with this team. It's probably the big reason why we give get him the ball on the elbow so often. It's because it's the most effective way for these guys to get him the ball.


The problem isn't the fact that we can't initiate the offense with BI even with Z. The problem is the inconsistencies with getting Z the ball off these actions with any consistency.

Z will be more likely to get BI the ball with some consistency than BI is able to just because Zion commands more gravity than BI.
