In this case it does, our system is predicated on the threat, the illusion of the 3. We have Bam as a non shooter and the same with Butler but he's sorta trying to shoot the 3. When teams take out Duncan we lose badly, because no one will spread out the court for Butler and Bam to attack. Duncan is the key here, good or bad.
Bam does not attack even with Duncan and Herro spreading the floor. Bam has become a mid range turn around shooter. I thought this year he was going to expand his game but he fooled us all. I still remember when he said he was going to shoot the three..
Have you seen his dead ball attempts? He's not ready to shoot 3s yet. He'd have a terribly poor percentage right now. He's been attacking the past two games because Herrozier have been aggressive getting in the lane, forcing defenders to step up which opens the lane. Problem is, that tactic doesn't work when you're being guarded by two 6'9" monster defenders and the rest of their teammates keyed in on stopping you from getting to your preferred spot. That takes superstar offense level of skill to overcome that and that's not who Bam is.
