One play in particular from last night’s Sixers-Raptors game really bugged me. In the possession below, Mike Scott identifies a mismatch in Fed VanVleet, who I’m not convinced is taller than me. Scott begins to establish post positioning and for a moment, it looks as if the Sixers have created an advantage.
The perimeter players on the court for the Sixers noticed that the Raptors’ defense was compromised and started to position themselves to spot up for some inside-out offense. Even Norvel Pelle recognized the appropriateness of a down screen on Furkan Korkmaz’s defender.
