I am also curious to this. It seems to me this is a weakness of the triangle. Your bigs cant help screen in the back court because they are in post position on the other side. Your 3 can help but we dont want JB to do that. Which potential SF can help up us bring the ball?
First of all, the team needs to practice playing against ball pressure much more. No NBA team presses because teams can easily break it. Having a big target like JB as a release valve who can handle the ball should allow us to break any pressure. The past couple of games really exhibited a lot of turnovers and a lot were mental lapses more than skill issue. For some reason the team doesn't look locked in mentally. They seem to focus only at the end game.
But, if we're going to add another ball-handler, I'm leaning towards a guy like Winston. Can potentially be a good defender and has a middy game on top of ballhandling.
Moving away from the triangle can help with this. Bring in guys like Edu or Carl to either screen or be an outlet for our guards.
Coaching staff already adjusted mid-4th quarter when they ran Spain PNR, and got back the lead (this still becomes a Brownlee takeover/bailout outcome though) but we had TOs (Newsome offensive foul on the pick, and Brownlee fastbreak bad pass) that led to the loss.
i agree, they can switch it up by playing other offensive sets before going back to triangle to confuse opponents maybe early in the game in the 1st half. there should be adjustments for the next game because roster changes can only happen in the next tournament (Asia Cup). otherwise, expect a blowout in New Zealand.
Lies.. you don’t suggest this.. when i name drop him, you don’t agree with it..
Did you have any reading comprehension? Bolick is a good option but no comparison to Alapag or Castro level.. Akala ko Marami ka alam? Hay naku... Di porket I said he's not on level between Castro and Alapag and that means I didn't trust him.. then go to the far previous post, where I mentioned him, alongside Abando and Baltazar as those players who should be in the extension pool.. do you remember you have argument against me that I doubt about Heading? That's because I want Bolick over Heading in the pool...

Guys, do U think if it was Jordan who faced Taiwan last night, Taiwan would still have won? With the way Taiwan shot last night, I think any Asian team will have difficulty defending.

Ironically enough, Gilas had the better shooting percentage from 3 at 47.6% compared to their 34.9% but they took way more attempts since their offense was geared more towards shooting 3s. It really came down to defense which was a problem even in the previous window when New Zealand shot 51% from 3.
This is misleading. Almost all of the makes were from JB. Dwight made only 2/8. The others none I think. If our other players don't have the confidence in taking 3s or are not sufficiently open that's another problem. Relying our outside shooting almost primarily on Brownlee is a mistake I think. Secondly, letting Dwight take 8 shots for only 25% accuracy is not good offense IMO. Surely we have better shooters? We know Dwight for all his talents is not the most accurate 3 pt shooter. He is best off doing the kick-outs and should only shoot as a secondary option.

Walang hiya! If we look at Chinese Taipei, looks like everyone of them except their naturalized player can shoot 3's. Whenever a Chinese Taipei player takes a 3-pt shot, parang papasok eh.
Yeah, problem is, there aren’t any reliable shot creators on the team. It wasn’t as big of an issue because Kai was essentially another import caliber player that could take the load off Brownlee and his style of play fit the system. Now we see the holes in the team when it comes to skillsets.
