Fair points, but as I said I don't think Gray anticipated Portis making the switch and denying the drive as much as he did. Had Portis not done that, Gray's path to the basket would've been much more succinct and TQ's defender doesn't have a chance to double team.
It seems clear that Martin wasn't as big of a decoy at the 3 point line as anyone thought. But the "play" was a simple pick and pop, but I don't understand TQ's movement either. If his defender stays home then you just brought Gray into a triple team. Luckily he follows TQ just enough.

If Arkansas doesn't account for TQ, he curls that down the lane. If a defender picks him up then he stays spaced on the 3 point line to try and open the lane for Gray and short corners for the shooters
