Jarred Vanderbilt Discussion: The Vandalorian

I was surprised he played so little. Only 12 minutes. Probably matchup-based for spacing. I'd still have played him more

 

He was dreadful on offense in those 12 minutes - there was no way he was going to get more

 

He came in with Hayes, which I didn't like. He and Smart should be staggered. I want 1 of them always on the court (except starting halves)

But yeah it wasn't pretty

 

I would like to see Vando turned into Rodman. Rodman wasn't Rodman immediately. Forget scoring. Screen and look for offensive rebounds and then get the ball back to Luka or Austin if no easy shot. Irritate and annoy the other team. He can play defense already, so just needs refining for each assignment and to focus on the boards and get the ball to a ball handler. He will never be Dennis but even half that is a win. Currently, it is hard to have him on the court. Would take adjusting on offense but we don't do much any way. Luka and Austin can create while we learn.
