Floater Problem....

I'm going to watch a little closer, but I'm not sure this is the case... If we dribble a little deeper though then it opens up the weakside threes. Again... I'm just not sure.

We also have to remember we have a perfect view when the guys with the ball likely only have a good view of half the court and are processing a lot of things in real-time.

Good idea but not a real possibility with DM's driving style. You'll put him deeper in the trees.

The worst thing is that at least 50% of these floaters were taken with an open 3 pt shooter watching.

See I'm just old-school enough to think you should only pass out to the open three if the defense collapses and you don't have the shot. Nothing wrong with the floater if you're making it regularly like Parker did and Conley used to. Problem is, for some reason, Conley has started thinking too much since he got here. Also, if Mitchell doesn't own the shot, he shouldn't be competing with Conley in that regard.
 
An interview earlier this year with Mike Conley on Donovan Mitchell. Digest as you will

It’s exciting to play next to a guy like Donovan because he’s truly a special player. When I say that, I mean his willingness to learn and his willingness to want to get better in so many different areas. He knows what he needs to improve on and he’s not afraid to attack those [aspects of his game]; he’s not going to ignore them and act like they don’t exist. He’s willing to say, “Hey, I need help learning how to shoot a floater,”

Kinda? Surely you just being nice. We’ve proceeded further into the crises of mediocrity over the past 10 games. Super frustrating.

Yeah and again it’s not just losing 1-4 is basically what I kinda expected. It’s all the performance and all the noise around the team... Listened to Tony talk on his pod about Rudy wants the ball more and you have to feed him to get the defense... yada yada... Shaq/Kobe... yada yada... there’s a lot of weird noise and the gameplan is either stupid AF or we aren’t following it. It doesn’t seem like stuff that would require practices to fix. Like hey let’s not shoot floaters tonight unless it’s end of shot clock... just let’s not do that.
