Ten things I like and don't like, including Trae Young

It's Friday, here we go:

1. The E'Twaun Moore-Anthony Davis floater game, and the 15 percenters

Moore might sport the league's silkiest floater, and Alvin Gentry makes it sing by pairing Moore and Davis in a two-man game with a very specific geographic alignment:

That is basically a high-speed wing pick-and-roll, with no other Pelican on the Moore-Davis side of the floor. Emptying that area creates a dilemma for defenses. Some help schemes would dictate a third defender slide in from that right wing to bump Davis.
