Plenty of that is explained away by having such a young and inexperienced roster. Expecting this team to execute like well oiled machine all the time with the lack of inexperience that they have is pretty ridiculous to me. Igor clearly has these guys buying into what he is selling and it is showing with results on the court.
Just tell him that he can't pass and he will come out next season averaging like 5 assists. Definitely needs to improve in that regard, but I assume that will likely be the next wrinkle that he adds to his game.
He’s averaging like 24 and 15 over the last few weeks.
He is trying to instill consistency into the young players. Once you show to him that you can consistently play well with the role that you are playing than he might expand your role, but JJ is not there yet. Sure he has had a solid 5-7 game stretch, but he is going to have to extend that to probably 10-15 games before they are going to give him an expanded role. Then again it still might not be a good idea to do that even that early because it may very well be the slightly limited role that he is playing that is causing him to excel. He is simply being methodical with giving his young players more responsibility and I don't see how you are going to knock that when the players are clearly improving even if only a little bit at a time.
Just suggesting that Igor sucks and is using the recent performances of JJ, Ayton and Oubre to somehow make his point (You know 3 of the guys that are pretty consistently playing well of late) and I don't see how it makes sense.
This is absolutely the only game where you can say the Suns won because of Ayton's defense. That is a major step in the right direction.
Ya multiple times actually, they tend to switch alot, it's kind of their defense he didn't score all his points on ayton
I was referring to his defense in overtime. Where he had 3 blocks and the deflection on the last play of the game. We won that OT with only 4 points scored and we did that in large part because of Ayton's defense.
