Coach Q's Offense Next Season

[colton]

Hasn't Favors said for a while that he sees himself as a 5, not a 4?
Do you think he wants to play the 4?

Other way around. He said he likes playing 4 much more than 5.

Changing the offensive system.

A flexible coach should adapt the offensive system depending of the roster and not the opposite.

What evidence is there that Quinn somehow doesn't have this ability?

As far as I know Snyder wanted to push the pace when first arrived to Utah, when he realized the players were better in a half court/low pace offense he changed his tune and played accordingly.

Uh Gordon Hayward decided Brad Stevens was better ??

I think Snyder wants to push in transition, but slow it down and make the defense work in the half-court. What players do you think are more suited to a low pace offense?

I hope GH ends up with the likes of an Alvin Gentry one day.

Uh explain how GH leaving is evidence that Q can't tailor his offense to his players, and specifically that. I'm struggling to see any correlation at all.

I think it's the exact opposite. IINM, Favs sees himself as a PF, not a center.

I definitely see us running in transition more this season, but I'm wondering if our slow it down, find the mis-match, then go to work half court offense will be shaken up a bit. I think in the past we have relied on our wings for a lot of playmaking, but with Rubio you really want the ball in his hands as he doesn't seem like a guy you have to guard tightly off the ball. Also with the addition of Udoh I'm wondering if we play Favs at the 4 more this season and have some traditional two bigs lineups?

This. Quin has relied on multiple play makers because he inherited a bad PG situation. Even last year, Hood was more of a scoring PG. And, Gordon demanded the ball a lot. It will be interesting to see how the offense changes. I do see running in transition, pushing the ball up the court instead of the walk or slow trot. Once in the half-court, it will be P&R heavy with Rudy. And Gobert will still get screen assists; they'll just be for Hood and Ingles instead of Haywoody.

Do you mean Hill was more of a scoring PG?

I think that Rubio/Exum/Mitchell/Neto/Burks will be tasked with pushing the ball in transition, but I'm excited to see how Quin utilizes Rudy's/ Fav's diving abilities and Rubio's passing. Add Rudy's screens and Jingle's/ Hood's shooting to the mix and I think we can get to a decent offense next season.

If we can get to an average offense efficiency wise next season we can be really good.
