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.

    Me too. He also rewarded Ivey with an extended run (after good play; as everyone was clamoring for) and held another player besides Ivey accountable (which everyone was clamoring for). So of course, the fans are pissed 😂😂
