Monty said he wanted to prioritize spacing and he did exactly that last game.

Ausar: 17 minutes

Bagley: 16 minutes

Killian: 22 minutes

By contrast our better shooters played heavy minutes.

Ivey: 29 minutes.

Knox: 31 minutes.

Burks: 24 minutes.

These extra minutes for good shooters did not work (obviously), in part because most our good shooters aren’t available, but it is a step in the right direction.

Also I know Ausar getting benched is this subs 9/11, but if you prioritize spacing, Ausar might get a shorter leash for rookie mistakes, as he is the worst 3pt shooter on the team.

    Idk what it is about Ausars 3 point shot, it actually doesn’t look too bad but the guy has to use some more legs. Before last night 25% of his attempts were airballs from 3, that’s more than he makes…

      He has good form, he just needs to relax when he shoots, and hopefully he’ll learn that through experience.
