Excellent analysis as usual, Kris. I feel smarter after reading these. One question. On the play where Dre passed to Kyle, you say Kyle was surprised by the pass, but I see someone ready for a catch-and-shoot. Do you think that was just a decoy?

  He has to come off of it ready to shoot either way. But it was a decoy clearout first, shot second. Bennett during an answer about Hunter: "We ran an action, and the shot Kyle Guy took at the end was the one we thought [Hunter] was going to attack, but he got in foul trouble."
