Ku Kahil dropped a show today talking about the misuse of Ausar in this offense. Basically discussing the (false) idea that you always need 4 shooters on the court.

He mostly referenced a lot of JJ Redick's info, so I'll post one of JJ's pods below where he talks about this concept in reference to how Willie Green is using Zion and even how Ben Simmons was used when JJ played with him. On a previous pod he talked about this concept using some of the actions that Quin Snyder runs in Atlanta. And, of course, you've all heard me talk about how the Warriors use Draymond and Looney together with the other three guys running off-ball screens to free up shooters and otherwise bend the defense.

Nobody is saying that this core has the talent level of some of those other teams, but every time you see Ausar standing in the corner and the Pistons playing 4 on 5 offense, that's on Monty. The only thing worse than his lineups are his offensive sets and lack of creativity.

JJ is a pretty good podcaster.

His point about Zion pushing it after a rebound is something Ausar should really look at.  He is good in the open court and is a nice passer so he cant hit trailers.

SGA really stands out in the cut vs drive graphic.

Really wish the Pistons could've landed Atkinson. I'd love to see more off-ball movement, cutting, and screening like GS does. Nobody wants to chase Ivey or Ausar around the court and few can vertical space like Duren and Ausar. All of the core 4 are good passers as well. Add Fontecchio to that mix who can movement shoot. They'd feast. The whole idea behind drafting 4 dudes who supposedly have high IQ and can make passing plays is not to run one dude into triple teams all day while the other guys sit in the corner.

I think the game is at 7, not 6.  Either way, an L by 10.

I was trying to make sure everyone was sitting in front of the boob tube and not miss a moment of the game.

You're good like that.

The game was lost during the 1st line change.  Because this team just has to play Fournier for some asinine reason.

Someone had to take Killians French minutes.

Ivey's numbers wont look terrible, but it was another bad game from him.  He basically dumped in some points in the 4th after the game was over.  Zero points in the 2nd or 3rd quarter.
