Open to projects.

Lots of🏀clips & stats on this feed!
Also, a very good time to mention this play the Jazz ran a couple of times against Indiana, where they set up a backscren off the ball for Markkanen at the top of the floor, getting him downhill with a ton of space:

(I sometimes have to use the random clips I keep saving...)

Selected clips to focus on his off-ball movement, taken from his 40-point effort in the Jazz loss vs the Hawks

Obviously, all this shows up in other ways. His cuts behind the defense are lightning fast and that 2nd play is just a textbook example of how to drift across the arc when a teammate is attacking the paint.

It's insane to me how this rookie plays like a long-time Warriors vet.

🏀Will Richard is a really good offensive rebounder for his size, and it speaks to his understanding of space and his sense of timing

Always consistent with his effort + motor and the shot has gone in so far (11/25 from 3).

Looks like he's played with Golden State for years.

🏀📽️ Appreciative of how Nurse has been exploring the 76ers athleticism

VJ bringing it up and quickly hitting another guard (ex: Maxey) to spark an attack was a staple of the 4th quarter vs Orlando

Great to start actions already in motion; That speed gives them a head start in creating an advantage

🏀🎞️ Catching up now. Dylan Harper is already ridiculously advanced as a driver.

Impressed with his ball security and elite deceleration; His change of speed creates a ridiculous amount of space.

As a finisher, good arm extension to protect the ball from the rim protector.
