I understand shooters are streaky, but when he's off we don't need him forcing up off balance contested 3's just for the hell of it. I'm unsure if Clifford is pushing him to try to carry that second unit but it's a bad look. Clifford should be able to get us better looks than Ross coming around screens the whole time he's in there. I dread seeing Ross enter the game because ball movement will stop and he will come out jacking up everything. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His good streaks are few and far between. And for all his athletic abilities he can’t defend for sh**. There are zero stars on this team. Ball movement should’ve been our number one objective but we have players who just want to get theirs. Ross and Vooch namely. His shots are contested because there’s no one else in the second unit that can make plays, shoot, or create their own shot. He’s on an island out there and is the focus of defenses. poor roster construction 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very BAD offense! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you notice the defender closes out too hard and doesn’t give him room to land once he goes up for his shot. That’s the reason why he gets fouled so many times when he shoots the 3. He may exaggerate a little to sell it more like most NBA players nowadays, but you always have to give the shooter room to land. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bamba, Iwundu, Augustin (when he’s healthy), Gordon who’s often out with the second unit, Clark, can all shoot the three and have a decent chance of hitting if open. Of course once Ross starts taking all the shots, no one else can get into rhythm. With better ball movement everyone would look better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
