You are 100% correct.
And I am enjoying our season and am in no way disappointed in our coach.
The offensive vision is still really unclear, however. At some point we should be starting to understand even though it can't fully unfold until next year's roster is assembled.
But will be impossible to justify the choice unless it's pretty kick-ass when it finally does.
Given that the aforementioned two guys were free and clear, and our guy hadn't actually achieved a whole lot outside of really pissing off Marc Gasol.
Bud doing a great job in Milwaukee.
Casey a great match for Detroit.
I think Mills & Perry wanted to grow their own, as it were.
Not that they were sniffing their noses at Bud, who interviewed and had strong interest in the job.
But I think Fizz was a better match...for the Knicks.
As for who sees floor time.
I think Fizz is trying to make everyone feel as if they got a fair shot, such as Lance, though clearly, leadership notwithstanding, he is a role player and bench bulwark and not part of our long term future.
I think Baker getting burn in lieu of an injured Mudiay, is also part and parcel of creating a team first ethos.
Clearly, the likes of Hezonja and Mudiay, have great talent, but are flawed players.
But the time has come to toss them into the deep end of the pool, though clearly, Fizz raised the bar for Mario in terms of his expectations and that defensive thingy.
Again, in the minority here, but Mudiay's floor game impressed me in pre-season. He got us out in transition, and made some great passes to cutters up court.
Those point guard instincts are really enticing. Next step for Emmanuel, like Mario, is defense. Both good passers, whose confidence often buckles when they make mistakes or fail to finish.
PS: I am NOT inclined to trade Burke off of one stinker, though I think he should come off the bench and play off the ball as often as not.
