One of the biggest ones was how physical they were with Shea Gildas Alexander.
They were picking him up almost full court.
Steph Castle was getting minutes on him.
He was staying on him.
You saw Carter Bryant get like 10 good minutes of hounding him.
He would body slam him in some of these games.
They were physical with Shea.
They were tough with Shea.
We didn't see...
that same level of physicality or that same attention paid to Jalen Brunson in this game.
They didn't shift as often as I thought they should.
Their defense is towards him.
They didn't bump him as much as they should.
And the guards, they weren't fighting over screens to get through.
Look, if you look, I saw some of the numbers for this.
When Jalen Brunson was lined up with Devin Vassell and when he was lined up with Carter Bryant or Julian Champagny, like, he was...
getting off.
He was getting his numbers.
When he was lined up with Castle, when he was lined up with Harper, even when he was lined up with Fox, he wasn't as effective.
He wasn't as efficient.
