I'm mostly worried about running him into the ground. He's never played this many MPG, and he's also not been the healthiest guy throughout his career. I don't think there's a good reason to push him this hard. You're not the first person to point out that he's looked tired at points this...

The good news is that the instant we stop playing tank commanders we’ll have a top 10 offense or even greater. I have my questions about Hardy as a defensive coach, but he can coach offense for sure.

I think you can be both an active and passive tank commander. Cody’s lack of ability goes beyond spacing and the defense respecting him. My support for that would simply be that we had an entire season of that last year. Cody was as bad or worse than the Nurk this year and I think it was that...

So a little follow up to our side convo that went on. I was digging through some lineups/wowy data, here are some loose conclusion I came up with. - I still think Cody Williams is a tank commander. - I do think @SoberasHotRod 's point about not actively being has some validity, but you can be...

I think that may go down as our best defensive performance of the season. LAL were ****, but you take any positive sign you can on that end.

You're saying Jaren Jackson 2.0 isn't an NBA player?

It was a fine shot. Lauri just missed.

150 is a made up number to illustrate the point. It doesn't matter if you are lowering an offensive rating from high to average or average to low. It's the same effect on tanking. You either believe Cody is the reason why the offensive rating is holding up when he's on the court or you believe...

It doesn't matter if he's dropping from 150 to 120 or from 120 to 90. That's still commanding a tank. Both make you lose the same amount. Cody's minutes (like everyone else) exist in specific set of circumstances and you can't really even assume it's "fine" by comparing it against the total net...

Austin Reaves unstoppable move = run into defense.

But you don't know what the alternative would be if he wasn't on the court. If Cody was not playing the offensive rating could have been even higher. If you cause performance to go from good to average, that's still tanking the offense. It works in the opposite way as well. For example, if you...

Brice is really struggling. Missed so many good looks.

Key has really leveled up on offense this year. Massive improvement.

Cody not helping tank the offense is the opinion. The fact that the ORtg is fine with him on the court does not prove the opinion correct. That's awful statistical analysis. The SSS being the entire sample does nothing wrt curbing randomness/luck.

That's definitely opinion. And if you believe he can only hurt a team so much because he doesn't do much, logically that must apply to other seasons. If it's true that a player cannot a hurt a team much when he doesn't touch the ball I can't see a reason as to why that would only apply to this...
