This thread is going to assume that the coaches know what they are doing. So instead of questioning the competence of the team or effort etc of the players, lets have this thread for rational and constructive explanations of what the team and players are doing.
The team has said tbis season is NOT about wins. So then what IS it about then? Development obviously. I think all the struggles of the team and the confusion in regards to rotations and playsets can all be explained from tje perspective of development.
For instance, why are we running this high post offense that is difficult for Skal and WCS when pick n roll would be a better fit? Because, perhaps over the course of running this over a year our young bigs will be forced to develop skills they otherwise wouldn't running simply pick n rolls. Next year, they will be better players after going through the growing pains. If you want to grow then work on sometbing over your head until you get it. Not going to get better repeating what you already know.
Another reason for hammerimg in this offense over easier pick n roll style offense is to raise the ceilig of the team. What i mean by this, yes tbey could run a easier PnR style plays and be more competitive NOW, but when then do they learn a system that will be more effective when one day they fnd themselves in competitive games late in forth or going against the better teams that can defend tje PnR like the spurs or warriors. Take the growing pains now where wins dont matter and use these games to learn a better more complete offense that will serve the players and team better in the long term.
