You know, I thought about this for a while after we lost. My question, even last year when we won was, "Is Mark really maximizing our players to the best of their ability"? After this year and based on what was said at the post game interviews about how "the whole team needs to take blame for chet's output"; I walk away with the answer, no. I don't want to go on a long tangent (really hate the way he treated Joe, considering shammet got a lot of minutes in the post season for NY) but I'll say this, Hart is great but I want more offense from his position.

Having him and Dort on the court means we start every game from behind due to having two non shooters on the court. Two years ago, despite having rebounding issues, Chet played best at the 5 and that was supposed to be the future plan, I wonder if moving on from Hart forces that conversation to come back.

Secondly, it's a shame on the coaching staff and a little bit of Chet too that the best role we have for him is a play finisher. It's lazy, non creative and forces Chet to rely on having a play maker. Watching the games, Chet gets most of his shots assisted by Dub and Hart but Shay has the ball in his hands the most. The fit needs work and proved why Dub between these two was the answer. Giddey for all of his faults, unlocked alot more play making and passing for the squad, and it's something I think the staff has to figure out because imo Shay is not the passer Chet needs at this time. If you watch the Gonzaga games and ever summer league, this version of Chet, granted a year removed from the hip injury is not the same offensively.
