'He was really locked into what we were trying to do,' says USA select team assistant Jim Boylen.
VanVleet loves to conduct the orchestra but his game slides more toward the modern side than the traditional pound-the-air-out-of-the-ball types of the past. There’s an obvioususage angle to this but VanVleet isn’t immune to giving up the ball in the half court and relocating. In other words, Green might not dominate the ball as much as he did last season, but it’s still going to be in his hands a good amount and he’ll need to make the right plays.
As stated earlier, last season’s team made an effort to get Green on the ball, something stated publicly by former head coach Stephen Silas on several occasions. There were a few pockets in Houston’s offense where the movement was crisp and Green was put in areas where he could maximize his talent in short windows.But a lot of times, when defenses pressured him and he couldn’t immediately generate a full head of steam, chaos ensued.
With young players, it takes time and repetition, especially with ball handlers. It’s not perfect. After escaping Austin Reaves’ chase, Green had an open look after a nifty step back and should have pulled the trigger. But even after allowing Reaves to get solid defensive positioning, Green continues to probe and eventually finds Holmgren open on the wing from driving and kicking. It’s all a work in progress but the potential is there.
