The Harper conspiracy theories run deep. I'll add to it. After this play he was hobbling the rest of the game. Didn't warm up 2nd half. 4 min left in 1st half, watch from there on and you'll see him on the sidelines trying to work it out.

Right knee? What knee did he have work done on?

 
Good spacing by Colombia...Hayes's man moves quickly to the perimeter which makes Hayes ability to help on penetration tougher.

Stuff like this is important....when we run our plays and guys are jogging to spots it can have implications like this.

I just looked up that kid - #2 on Columbia
He's a 45% 3pt shooter this year.

Now imagine that is 27% JWill, 23% Davis or 23% Derkack in that corner.
The decision is easy to contest the layup and force the kick out for a likely missed 3.

This is why many criticize the NBA for "no defense".
This play looks like terrible defense by Hayes. But if he crashes in it gives a likely easy 3pt shot.
Give up the 2 instead of the 3.

Nearly every player in the NBA is closer to #2 on Columbia than Davis/Jwill/Derkack.
It's constantly a choice between the lesser of two evils.
 
To your point...with good spacing it is very difficult to defend the entire court. It is why the game to me is broken and why so many attempts are taken from 3. Also why Ace probably has more value than Dylan in the NBA. The release is quicker and he is so long so he has the tools to defend the line better
 
....and to your point if the guy JaMike was guarding was actually JaMike that defender could have actually been help. No way could that person help with a good shooter.

I missed Davis on the bottom right.
But your're right.

What is Ogbole doing there?
Does he really need to go out towards the 3pt line with that guy?
That guy is a 30% 3pt shooter.
