The way guard whisperer molded castles physicality since high school is interesting, teaching him to allow the defender to close to gap and to attack their shoulder when they recover emphasizes castles physical tools on drives https://t.co/6oLoNbguZN
Knicks are really just a bad matchup for the Spurs on multiple fronts.
• Spurs lack a physical KAT defender. Champagnie is too small. Wemby better served sagging in the paint.
• Knicks’ offensive rebounding and frontcourt physicality is going to give the Spurs fits. OKC really exploited SAS on the offensive glass and the Knicks will be even more difficult.
• NYK is not as paint reliant as OKC, which is partly why the Thunder struggle with the Spurs & Wemby. Brunson, Bridges, OG, KAT, Shamet, McBride all can operate in the mid-range in front of Wemby contests. Better quick trigger shooters with NYK than OKC.
• OG & Mitch are two of the best Wemby defenders. Brunson can hide on Champagnie and the Spurs don’t have the above the break 3PT shooting guards to make Brunson pay on screening actions.
