Watch the multiple efforts from Julius Randle here on defense. Shows on the first screen, the re-screen and gets back up to show on a third. Those are winning plays.
(negative points to Mitchell Robinson on the weakside and if I was a team I would put in situations where he has to help, tag or rotate with his man spaced)
Oh Julius Randle is thriving thriving under Thibs.
Watch Julius Randle again here defensively. Comes up to the level but when Sabonis slips he leaves. Smart. Gets back up to show on a second screen and ends up getting the steal on the pass. Multiple efforts from your bigs go a long way.
Mitchell Robinson has great potential defensively but the consistency isn't there. Sometimes you get a play like this where he is in position to drop and contest but his footwork opens the lane for Oladipo to drive by him and finish.
...and a minute later you get a play like this from Mitchell Robinson where he blocks a pullup 3, grabs it and starts a fast break.
