How I see it now, which obviously could change as its only two exhibitions:NYCat wrote:Other than Williams, is there anyone that does anything of note offensively (besides maybe shoot a 3pt-er)?
We have two guys who can create their own shot to score: Williams and Randolph. Outside of that, we are relatively light offensively, which means Miller is going to have to scheme us into quality shots. This is why I had been saying to those who didnt like watching Trier play, that he was a necessary piece. The guy who can literally create buckets at any time, or at least draw fouls.
Outside of that, and I think this is a huge plus and a good thing we still have Miller on the sidelines; we are going to have to defend to not only win games, but help create offense. Early offense is going to be important to this team, almost as important as getting stops and rebounding.
Miller has installed a few adjusted sets, primarily that shuffle/flex action back screen set for Jeter and Luther. A bit of his old set for Williams with the cross screen, and the back screen sets for Dusan/Ayton. Also noticed a lot of overload and then cutting across the lane to the opposite corner. Really didnt pay too close attention to the last two games, so might just have been floor balancing and not a cut in the offense. Perhaps someone else can chime in if they noticed anything new?
