I think he has more of a problem operating with Tyson, than he does Melo. He and Melo could run the PnR all day if STAT was playing the 5. But since his game is crashing hard, and quickly to the rim out of the PnR, it's not looking so great when Tyson is out there. There are more bodies in the way.
So how do we build around what we have? It seems like there's an issue up front. The best thing for this team is to operate in the half court, and run when appropriate. But I don't know how you implement STAT and a true 5 like Chandler in the half court. Amar'e is not a jump shooter, and he's not a low post operator...so what is he?
I wanna see how it works tonight if Tyson plays. I wanted to see it against the Spurs, but obviously Tyson wasn't out there...and they still ran very few PnR's for Amar'e, which I found strange. But that was one game, I'm not gonna make too much of it.
Edit: Tyson is out again, but this time STAT is starting at the 5, instead of Jorts. I expect to see the high PnR all game. He should look like the old STAT tonight, especially if his explosiveness is coming back.
It's a weird situation, cause we know this offense isn't the answer, but then, what do we really know about STAT being the low post presence in a more traditional offense?
