Anthony Davis and Austin Reaves know exactly what is happening on this possession (how did Reaves go undrafted???)
Memphis scored the first 2 times they ran this action yesterday.
The latter two times later in the game LA had it defended well and shut it down.
A good Memphis result overall @ 1.5 PPP but LA adjusted their approach in-game to finish in a great spot.

Circling back to the Patrick St. Andrews hire
A big change in the 2021 Bucks system was the use of the Dunker Spot - particularly when it came to guards/wings occupying the spot
Will use this thread to try to highlight this change and how it could affect the Memphis Grizzlies
Breaking: The Grizzlies are hiring Patrick St. Andrews as an assistant coach, per league sources.
St. Andrews worked with Taylor Jenkins in Milwaukee.

This is a great point by Keith
Here Memphis sets up decoy action for Roddy (against gapping) - Toronto wants Roddy to shoot the 3 (31.2% this season) but Memphis is purposefully initiating action w/ P&R + seal w/ Tillman to set up David Roddy Iso/Go-and-Catch
Tonight, David Roddy took 12 fgas and NONE of them were 3-pointers
Earlier today, I podcasted this.
Connection?

With Ja Morant's return to FedEx Forum it is notable the Indiana Pacers are
- 2nd worst Isolation defence in the NBA
- 9th worst Post-Up defence
- Commit 2nd most Personal Fouls in the NBA (all via nbadotcom)
Should be a big game for Jaren Jackson Jr. and the Memphis Grizzlies

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Atlanta Hawks
A lot circulated this summer re: using non-shooting bigs in the corner and using them as DHO hubs
Makes sense we'd see Steven Adams here at some point and matches Jenkins' comments about using Adams in more situations to space the floor
Nice solution to having non-shooters on the floor from the NBA last season—putting your non-shooter in the corner, typically the last place you’d want a non-shooter, and using them as a dribble handoff trigger.

Please Coach, I (almost) never complain
JJJ is scoring 1.20 PPP on Post-Up and 1.32 PPP on Iso when defended with a single player
0.563 and 0.800 PPP respectively when doubled - Suns sold out on doubling Post-Ups, it’s in the game plan and only going to get more frequent
This game really highlights why Memphis Grizzlies need to implement more concepts that beat help into JJJ's Post-Ups, he's getting doubled by Phoenix every touch
Last season it took until Jan 23 - it should not last that long this year
