Modern Russ is THT at home

If I'm being honest, there are some similarities between THT and Russell Westbrook. Both are unreliable shooters. Both are great at pushing the ball and attacking the rim on the break. Both can beat their defender off the dribble, but who knows what will happen next. THT is shiftier and more creative with the ball, but I'm not sure what benefit it yields.

I was telling my son that very thing earlier today. I dont think he is as self consumed when he plays as Russ is but he has a style and tendencies that are very Russ like.

Examples of THT's passing brilliance:

0:42, zings a hit ahead pass past PG to Lauri and turns a play that wouldnt have been a fastbreak into an easy fastbreak dunk.

1:06 after a made basket immedaitelly pushes ahead and zips a hit ahead to Ochai for a fastbreak layup that had no business being a fastbreak.

1:45 hits KO for a perfect dime in transition on a fastbreak seal

These are the kind of fastbreak looks THT creates that no other guard on our team does.

*not to mention all the sexy left handed finishes for a guy who supposedly lacks touch*

Passing ahead on fast breaks is the LEAST you can expext from a starting pg. No extra points for that.

THT is terrible at creating scoring opportunities for guys in half court. He mainly looks for his own shots or drives.

He's not a top option on this team and he has to realize that.
 
Hardy said THT worked best with spaced bigs. Maybe like our freaking best player Lauri you dingus.

Guess what, all our guards work best with spaced bigs.
 
If I had control and I didn't care about egos, I would do this:

Start -THT, Clarkson, Ochai, Lauri, Collins
2nd unit - Dunn, Sexton, Key, Olynyk, Kessler.

Centers will be undersized against Kessler. He can be more impactful on offense and he would be a monster on defense against 2nd unit players.

John Collins as the center in the starting unit would space the floor. Our defense would be weak but we would be spaced and I think the offense would excel.

He said THT works best with perimeter players, not bigs. Lauri is a perimeter player (unlike the author indicated) but Kessler isnt.

Thats instant offense. On both ends of the floor. Horrible defense for that starting line up.
