You guys think this is developmental, or a Carlisle experiment to see if it works?No idea, but i just checked Luka - Brunson - KP lineups, where Brunson replaces any starter. And there is 0 reliable data to fetch, because they barely seen the court together this season. Basically 10 minutes together.
Do you think that RC is letting him play through mistakes in the closing unit to develop him as a permanent part of that unit? He's been great in the fourth until the last 3 or 4 minutes, and then he makes turnovers or misses open shots, shots that he made earlier in the quarter, and missing FTs.
