Cody is bringing what I’d hoped he’d bring.

Kevin Durant and Devin Booker’s stats in the 16 games they’ve played without Bradley Beal:
Durant: 26.5 points, 5.1 assists, 61.9 TS%, 32.1 USG%
Booker: 25.5 points, 6.8 assists, 60.5 TS%, 34.4 USG%
Both would rank in the top-10 for usage while maintaining elite efficiency.

This was the vision behind the KD trade; 2 top 10/top 15 players that create chaos on the defense with elite role players surrounding them to punish missteps. Didn't quite translate with adding Beal.

defense does wonders

You can't argue with the fact that Dunn and Oso have made progress. That's all I am saying. You can critique him about a many things. I agree with the rotations thing but he does get credit for how the young guys are playing even if it took him some time to get there.

I'm not sure Bud should get all the credit for developing the young players. There are assistant coaches as well.

Also, Oso and Gillespie have played in the G-League.

If Bud had so much confidence in the young players, he should have been playing them earlier. I'm not sure if injuries and losing hasn't forced his hand.

Dud gets no credit from me on developing Dunn or Oso. Dunn was already headed there no matter what, coach Dud probably hindered Dunn and our teams progress.
Oso was not inspiring early on, maybe even overrated for what he was doing and brough to the team. If anything, sending him to the g-league was best for Oso. I'm not sure who makes the call on these. CG was already and end of bench player and g-league thriver. His sample size is small but shows promise.

If some of our guys didn't go down together then we would still be trying to ride them, Beal and Plumlee. Even Bol fell into the lineup because of injuries. I don't think Dud recognizes who should be playing. Just seems like he trying to see what sticks (feel).

Not always. How about those sloppy turnovers?

If you couldn't see that the team wasn't putting the effort in, I don't know what to tell you.

they mustn't count turnovers???

 

[Hoop Head]

TS% = True Shooting Percentage

Turnovers don't factor in at all. Really mislabeled as "efficient offenses" when it disregards everything outside of shooting.
