Part of it is the way we run our pick and roll. Our screeners (usually Kyle) rarely roll hard and mostly drift into open space in the midrange on the short roll. I think the logic is that it gives us better spacing—we always have someone in the weak side dunker, so if we have a driving guard, rolling big, and lurking 2nd big, the lane is really clogged.

The problem is that Kyle is pretty bad at catching the ball in space and making a play, which means the action just kind of dies when he gets the pocket pass. George is too slow to pressure the rim on his own, so he needs a real roll to engage the drop defender and create cleaner finishing angles. Since George isn’t doing very much out of the pnr (where his pull-up shooting and passing should be most valuable), he’s taking lots of shots out of isos, which he’s bad at.

I think when Donnie gets back, we’ll go back to 4 out spacing more often, which should make it easier for George.
