Quinn had so many steals on the France trip and has looked very good defensively this season. I think the problem was that we really needed him to run some point and let Braden play off the ball more (which is what they did against St Louis especially in the first half) but early in the season he just kept turning the ball over or making bad decisions when he was in there.
I think Mudville said this in another thread, but I really like the idea of paring up Braden/Jalen and Quise/Jayden.
Yeah it's a great idea, keeps us from getting too small on the perimeter. Seems like a moot point now with Dawson possibly done for the season, and I guess Kennedy possibly leaving?
That's one of my big frustrations with Drew this year, he substitutions just seemed punitive rather than having any strategy or plan behind it. Braden plays all game because he tries hard in practice, even though that hurts his productivity, and everybody else gets yanked the second they make a mistake.
Seems like Drew tried to implement his preferred up-tempo style throughout the offseason/pre-season, realized too late it wasn't gonna work with this roster, and is now just kind of winging it.
