This guy is about the best “on ball” defender around. He seems to pressure all the way from the in-bound pass. He created havoc against us in the first game before his injury. His main prey is obviously the opposing point guard.
Considering the less time Frank is getting recently, and basically having Tyus be the PG, then it appears Jones will be concentrating on Battle. I think we need two backcourt ball handlers for this game and I do not see Buddy as being one of them, nor any of our forwards to be honest.
I believe we normally have a forward in-bound after a made basket which would allow Jones to stay with the guard receiving the ball. If we had the other guard in-bound then there could be a quick outlet back to the other guard once Jones pressures the initial receiver.
This whole thread is just something I've been thinking about, but it would mean keeping Frank in the game or giving Jalen a lot of minutes. I’m not sure either of those scenarios suits JB at this point in time. What do you guys think?
