Message: [QUOTE="Niastri, post: 4272327, member: 722"] The benefit of Girard running the PnR is that he is a deadly three point shooter with very small openings AND he is a slick enough passer to find the open man. Most of his turnovers come from over dribbling, not bad passes. Mintz and especially Torrence aren't the threats Girard is to take and make the three given an inch of space, so the defenders will let them shoot, taking away the "roll" part. Remember Chukwu and Howard trying to pick and roll and it was just a bunch of dribbling away from the basket with no chance of scoring? Well, if either of the players running isn't an offensive threat, that what the PnR starts to look like. Mintz might be the guy who can run it even better than Girard, he's good attacking with the dribble, but Torrence hasn't proven he can shoot enough. If they both show accurate shooting, look out!
