But nope, BI virtually every single time over the course of 4 games the he got a screen to get Dort off of him, he would just be lolligagging dribbling the ball super slowly around the screen then just waiting around so Dort would just go over or under the screen and have all the time in the world to get back onto BI.
Don't understand it either.
BI is such a dificult guy to defend when he has a head of steam to the goal. His Euro step and length makes it easy for him to finish. I don't understand how he doesn't undersand this. I'm not saying he's Giannis, but BI is one of the closest guys to him when it comes to getting to the rim using long strides and long arse arms. Giannis doesn't play slow, ever.
As someone else mentioned, he simply plays too slow. The reason Denver make the leap is b/c Jokic got in shape and started pushing the pace. If Doncic does the same thing this offseason and gets in better shape and pushes the pace more they are going to be difficult to beat. Zion can do the same thing. We've watched Lebron do this for 21 years. He's nearly impossible to stop like that in transition. Jokic and Luka aren't at that same level of athleticism as Lebron. Zion is.
Nothing irritates me more than us dribbling the ball 35' from the basket and not actually getting into any kind of play until there's under 12 seconds left on the shot clock. We probably are near the top of the league in that if it was a stat.

It's infuriating. The only time he wants to use his incredible size and length to his advantage is when he's shooting a contested middy over someone.
Like if you arent going to shoot 3s at least go to the basket but he refuses to do that.
One of the biggest wastes of god given size and length i've seen.
