re: Windhorst says Philly is monitoring the Brandon Ingram situation

But if we want BI to shoot catch-and-shoot 3rd and drive to the rim on closeouts ... doesn't Trey do those things as well as BI?

We have no idea. BI has never been put in a position to consistently attempt either. There were stretches before he injured his knee where he and Zion were figuring out give and take. He was doing those things very, very effectively when he was able to get into a rhythm off-ball.

People are really under-estimating how many hurdles he had to find a rhythm this year. Basically, they need to bring in a solid pg to run the offense when Zion leaves the floor. Let BI settle into a more defined role and it can be successful.

The one thing that was conclusively demonstrated this season was that Borrego's plan to run the offense through BI was a terrible idea. We now know, and BI also knows, that this doesn't work.

I don't think so, It was more BI's refusal to do what Borrego wanted him to do was take more catch and shoot 3's. More times than I could count he's get a wide open look from 3 and dribble closer to the defender and take the 2. Much the same problem he had with Kerr on USA and SVG
