Some fans need to realize all these guys have to do is stand in the corner on offense and switch on offense. Even fringe talent can succeed in the system that has no system.
switching on defense is not easy. its actually pretty complex and easy to get lost trying to guard multiple actions
Much better than I thought. If Green can focus on D, he could be more important signing than Carroll.
Fireworks!! now most of our players are good at shooting 3s, 6'5-6'8, playing 2-4 positions…and switching switching switching! Cant wait to watching our coming 28games, we should name ourself DA SWITCHing team
Yeah, I agree. Nobody can be as bad as Gerald Green and Bmac. I think Bruno, Jeff and Demarre will be fine.
I think many of us our excited to see this experiment play out with a full roster. hopefully MDA plays 9-10 guys and keeps the starters' minutes down. get fresh legs in there for defensive switching/rotating, and fast breaking! I'm hoping for something like: tucker (30) - carroll (18) roco (32) - green (8) house (26) - mclemore (12) harden (34) - ego (28) rus (32) - rivers (20) I would split green and Thabo's minutes depending on if we need offense or defense. green is the better shooter but can't rebound or defend like thabo, if at all. knowing MDA he only cares about offense so green gets those minutes. however, I know MDA is gonna keep his tight rotation and high minutes for the starters. I'm not even sure green makes the rotation if MDA keeps his 9 man unit. I that case I would assume carroll replaces Thabo's minutes and everything else stays the same.
Here's one perspective. https://www.slcdunk.com/2019/12/23/...ys-before-christmas-trades-nba-trade-deadline Personally, this feels like Joe Johnson redux. I'm glad Green is on a 10-day contract, and am much more excited about Demarre Carroll, someone I was really hoping would sign in Houston this summer. Hopefully at least one of these two will break into the (playoff) rotation.
Looking purely at numbers, his on/off numbers were horrific with Utah. He was a -16.4 Offensive rating was 102.3 with him on the court and 115.5 with him off the court. -13.2 Defensive rating was 111.3 with him on the court and 108.1 with him off the court. -3.2 However, the year before with Washington, his on/off numbers were better, but nothing amazing. Offense was a little better with him on the court, and defense was a little worse. Overall his net rating was +0.7 -16.4 is probably an anomaly, but we'll see how he does with the Rockets.
They liked a younger player better. And Utah actually replaced Thabo with Green. How bout dem apples?
Hmmmm... We have 4 out of the top 5 in terms of minutes per game: https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/OKC/2010.html
