But the second big shift they've gone through is they now crash the glass at a very high rate.
They rank seventh in offensive rebounding.
Early in the season, very early in the season, they were shooting extremely poorly.
And their offense was still in the top 10.
And it was largely because they were able to win the possession game.
And they've just kind of done that a little differently.
They used to be extremely efficient as shooters.
And they used to be able to get to the rim, draw more free throws.
Now it's like Jalen Brown and Peyton Pritchard from the mid-range.
It's everybody else from three.
It's Jordan Walsh and Namesh Keita and Josh Minot getting to the rim sometimes, playing off other guys.
And so...
I think their offense isn't totally relying on the three-point shot, even though, obviously, it's a big deal to them.
They have lost some layers of their offense.
They used to post up as much as just about anybody.
They don't post up at all anymore.
Never, ever.
They're very reliant on jump shots, but because they do take care of the ball and because they do crash the glass the way they do, they're able to produce enough possessions that even when they go cold, they're able to score.
Yeah, exactly.
They didn't score at all.
