What would it take to get Tomas Satoransky to be more aggressive? Alteratively, what would it take to get Zach LaVine to be less aggressive?
For the second one, I’m thinking “multi-limb amputation”, and for the first one, “tell him that Zach LaVine got into an accident with a farming implement”. But there’s got to be a less drastic way.
Some players are simply built to want to choose their spots carefully. As strange as it may sound, they don’t want to just run around and spam shots. I have no idea why a player would have that mindset; personally, when I get the ball in a pickup game, my first thought is always “can I shoot it from here?” and the answer is usually yes because no one is playing any defense. It’s different in the NBA, but Satoransky doesn’t seem to even look at the rim a lot of the time.
Meanwhile, LaVine is out here chucking it as hard and as fast as he can like he’s prime Kobe. I guess they work well together, or something?
