The set I would like to see run is using Jesse as a distributor in the pick and roll.

You run the pnr with Mintz and Jesse. Jesse gets the catch and draws the extra defender. Joe spots up and then Benny runs the baseline with a screen from Bunch or Taylor etc. Benny is the target here beating his man with the cut Jesse finding him. In other scenarios Benny may be the screener here.

This will open up the pnr all the way to the bucket or open up a kick out more often. It's likely Mintz will get a good portion of those kick outs vs Joe. Joe will have to keep moving and setting up all game to get looks.

Benny didn't do a good job cutting last year. I felt while he should have gotten more time one thing he didn't do is make himself more available off the ball. That alone would make him more valuable with his size and athleticism.

There are options but guys have to be better setting good screens and cutting and doing so crisply. It can't be too late after the catch.
