When you give someone that much time, you’ll find good things by volume. By time I mean time dominating a possession, not playing time. Not too dissimilar to a guy being a high-volume scorer on a bad team. Put him in as a regular cog and ask yourself if it works.
his playmaking is ok... when he goes downhill or off a pick n roll he generally makes the good decision. it just got shadowed by the fact he can't shoot so opponents sag off on him, making it much more difficult for him to create space with dribble penetration. simmons and draymond have similar issues when opponents don't respect their shots. so you really have to be extreme strong in other aspects of your game to make up for your lack of shooting, which unfortunately hasn't been the case for Forrest.
Lol. Sounds insane. And all that excitement because they clawed back from being down 17 to a G league team. Lmao.
I’d really push to sign him to a 1+1 deal with the second year as a team option. He’s a 4M type nba wing… I’m sorry he had sex but I honestly think he’s as good as you can get on the buyout/waived guys market. Just one night but he was doing exactly what I’d expect. Seems to have kept himself in good shape and was playing hard. Even if he is just a 10 minute guy that can give Royce the night off here and there he has value.
He’s been good in the preseason and summer league… you can tell he worked on it. Took several charges in preseason and summer league. Man is generally easier to play than a zone… just requires you to work a bit more.
Straight man to man sure, switching the way we do is tough to learn and coordinate correctly though. Easy to get lost on the switch.
Zone requires just as much movement and switching if not more. I think it is much more about learning nba defense as a rookie than going from zone to man. We also don’t switch nearly as much as other teams. Honestly the closing out to the three point line and funneling to the middle is similar to what you’d do in a zone.
