Around 3 mins left in the first quarter is one of @Handlogten's Heros patented turnovers for Forest.

He was actually good tonight. But yeah… let’s see it a few more times. I think having a big that can score outside of 3 feet playing at center is helpful for him.
 
It’s wild that having Paschall an actual basketball player who does good basketball things on the court instead of Doke who is a large human actually worked… weird that having a big that just switches out on the perimeter and stays in front of guys is more effective than putting a large human in the paint while opposing team shoots three after three.

Paschall needs minutes… I literally think he might be the best player we have at staying in front of guys. He can make the corner three… he plays with actual energy… even if that energy leads to some over zealous fouls. #freeEP

It's baffling. Paschall's very best attribute as a player is scoring inside the paint. Being the roll man, or even just a guy who cuts/drives to the hoop with a spaced floor is the perfect scenario for him.

Paschall is shooting 34/48 inside the paint this year and has a high FTr. But I guess he's not good enough inside so we have to play Dok....against a spread offense like HOU nonetheless.

He also hits the corner three and might have the best lateral movement of any Jazz player… but yeah Quin wanted to experiment with a zone defense that definitely wasn’t a zone… and you can’t do that unless you do it all game… it’s illegal to change styles. Rather than having a big that can just switch out on the perimeter so the bigs don’t get open looks and hold the other defenders accountable for playing defense… it’s better to play a defense with a large human who doesn’t really know how to play basketball in a scheme that no one can really describe.
 
Everybody wants better defenders yet they complain about Forrest getting minutes who is one of the best defenders this year holding players to 39% when he guards them. Which is better than Smart has ever been on defense.

But Butler is the best in the NBA for anyone who's played more than 10 games at a ridiculous 19%.

He definitely deserves regular minutes and role.
 
Nice win. Obviously cannot get too excited about beating a lottery team, but these days I’ll take anything I can get.

I know Mobley probably has ROY locked up, but if Cunningham does somehow win it I hope he thanks Royce in his acceptance speech.

This is not the farm thread but yeah, we probably should've taken Herb Jones......

Why are we consistently so bad at the draft? We aren’t a big market so you’d think we’d have a crack scouting team to score in the draft.
