You can media day.
Just say, hey, here's a here's some Don soap.
I'll explain it later.
Just rub this on yourself a little bit.
I think in the half court, they can be a lot better.
And then the non-shame minutes, it can be a lot better offensively just because of the addition of Jared McCain.
And I think that Isaiah Joe's a different player than he was last postseason.
And we'll have to test that theory, right?
We don't know that for sure, but just looking at the ways that he can relocate around the perimeter, that he can come off of screens and knock those shots down.
There's just way more avenues now.
to be able to feel they really good half court offense, where if you're going to put a lineup out there, if you're Mark and you can have J Dub next to McCain and Joe with Chet there, what do you do at that point if you're a defense?
Because if you're going to have J Dub attacking downhill.
you can't leave Joe and McCain.
And so that holds guys away from those drives and opens things up for Jada even more.
And then Chet's been a much better player offensively whenever he shared the floor with Shea or Jada because he's cutting now more than ever.
He's rolling to the rim now more than ever, and he's keeping himself available defensively.
at the dunker spot now.
In the past, Chet would just kind of hang out with a three-point line, but now he's more comfortable just standing his ground at the low block, even when Jada and Shea are driving to the rim, and so it allows to, if someone steps up, they have an avenue to kind of dump it off to them, to Chet Holmgren down there at the low block.
So, at that point, it really spreads the defense thin, even in
the high intense playoff half court environments where defenses are more engaged.
