Francis Lightened Up Atkins at the Expense of Rocket

For most shots, Francis was not even in the scoring because he passed the ball early and used a lot of picks and teamates. So the difference is in the main score...

Great post, acrophobia98!

It proves that when Francis plays teamball, he's more succesfull than when he starts to go "one on five."

In reallity, it's not "one on five" it's more like "one on three." But still!! He starts sucking when he gets into those "trash-talk" iso battles.

Yes, you are right, it's more likely one against three.

In the past, Francis could handle dribbling through one against three if they come one at a time. But now with the zone, they all come at the same time, collapsing on the ball handler in the paint. It is therefore difficult for ISO and inside game if there is no outside shooting to support them.
