Peter Thomas: Player Personnel Decisions

I agree. If you must have a basket at the end of the game which player are you confident could score off the dribble. I don’t have one

Maybe that's why we have lost so many games where everything fell apart at the end when we just needed a bucket. And to answer your question that player should be Tyler I guess but he is usually running on fumes at that point from playing every available second of every game. That's his fault though, not the coaches

I’m pretty confident literally anyone on the other team can score at the end of games.

Weirdly (or sadly) enough, I would probably say Goose is our best option to score off the dribble. He will at least drive to the basket strong once or twice a game.

I totally disagree with this. Goose will periodically drive but it’s a looping indirect drive where he more often than not is going away from the basket, so it’s a low percentage shot and he’s not going to draw a foul.

I’d personally go with Tyler, he’s got the athleticism and size to get to the rim and will often draw a call if he doesn’t get the bucket. Of course, he is usually gassed by end of game so that’s a negative.

Well, these posts didn't age well.
