If he is number 17, it almost looks to me like some of the team should have rotated. Namely number 33 should have come over quicker seeing how JV stepped out to guard ball.
But whatevs.
It is a single play. Not many people hit every single play every single game.
he dropped down too low. he could have stayed a little closer to the middle of the lane because he could easily contest 34 layup with his length alone
with him going basically baseline to trap 34. his man was wide open for the easy 2. its bad basketball iq man.
All he needed to do was contest 34s drive with a little step until his teamate recoverd. not got full trap on 34
poor team defense starts with minor fuckups by the players involved. not saying its all his fault but he was in the wrong here
No way. JV played that pretty much the way he should have. 33 needed to rotate on the guy cutting through the top of the key, and whoever was on the weakside should have taken 33's man.
If 33 rotated onto the cutter then they funneled the ball handler into a situation with no easy outlet save for backing up and resetting.
Initial defense was perfectly fine, rotations afterwards were not.
Jesus Christ... who cares? It's just some random friendly game. Jonas played his first bball game after the playoffs with a bunch of role players that are trying to crack the final team Lithuania roster against a team that hasn't been in Eurobasket for the last 30 or 40 years. You're all overanalysing the hell out of that pic.
