A lot of things don’t make sense about tonight and there is tons of blame to go around. However, on of the biggest mysteries is the amount of run Buddy is getting. I believe in him and think he will be a contributor by year 3 or 4. But Right now he is so painfully slow that he is a massive liability on the defensive end. He absolutely can not close out. When we tried to press he just can’t cover the passing lanes. A quicker player would have intercepted several of those cross court passes by tech. Besides hitting a few threes (20% clip)
It just does not seem right that a player of his caliber is playing this much. Tonight everyone struggled but in the first half with the game tied buddy got a 4-5 minute stretch. Why? We would be much better off with any of the top 7 players getting those minutes instead.
Feeding Carey minutes would have been a much better long term strategy than given multiple chances to Buddy.
I think this may be having a negative impact on the team and I could easily see why players would be frustrated.
Cuse!
