While in line for the game last night, I expressed my woes and concerns about THT to my brother. I feel like he is sloppy. It looks like he is playing on rapidly melting ice when he drives to the paint. And as a point guard I don’t see him using or leading the team on the floor. My exact line to my brother, “He plays like a Laker.”
As I expressed my woes, a woman behind me hit me on the shoulder to get my attention and began to berate me about how THT is amazing and will carry the team.
If she is in here, I hope you saw the same game I did last night.
How did THT have a rough start? He hit 2/4 threes and made some great passes for open shots. The team had a rough start. The only player who shined was Clarkson, and that was because he did most of his work in the 2nd half when the game was out of hand and Sacramento was playing a bit on cruise control.
The team had a rough start. Unless we get a star Dame type, the spacing is going to be rough and is going to require impeccable chemistry and togetherness to pull off. Once the team builds that chemistry, guys like Sexton/THT will have more room to have their abilities shine. Until then it’s going to be a work in progress and we should avoid trying to scapegoat a single player.
