Brendan Vogt

I trust mentally that Christian isn't going to run from it.

I know he loves to compete.

I know he hates to lose.

I think he's going to play hard.

I think he's figured out how to play off of Jokic.

I simply don't trust him to hit every high leverage open three.

Doesn't mean he won't do it, but can I say with a straight face that I trust him to right now?

No.

Yes.

In that exact framing.

I agree with it.

I think what's interesting is if you're trying to find a guy who could in theory play defense and hit corner threes, it is Peyton Watson.

And that's why this is, this is a much cleaner question or maybe not cleaner.

I might not be the right word.

Because then you're talking about him starting.

But with all these injuries now, it's a bit different.

I do think there's still a world in which in five-minute spurts, including clutch time against the Thunder, you try Peyton.

You might even still try Tim to Harrison's point because you just have to either create spacing or have a real three-point threat in the corner.

Circle of trust is going to contribute.

I'm prepared for it to not look as electric as it has in the regular season.
