Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3387146, member: 9052"] Given they're putting that shape out the back of Payne it looks like they are starting to give him options, instead of a 1 out hitup and easy target for the defence. I do also recall in the first two weeks Payne was getting away quite a few offloads as well.. so I think he's starting to bring things into his game and Kevvie might be looking to utilise him a bit more in our attacking game, rather than just having him as a bash and barge forward. Getting the ball to Haas, putting options around him and getting him to recognise the right situations to go to certain options could turn him into a very dangerous player... especially since he plays long minutes for a prop. In an NBA sense it's like when the team's best player is the 7 foot centre so the go to play is getting it to the big man in the post, putting options around him and letting him use his skills. If the defence doubles him he can pop it out for the open man on the 3pt line (dump out the back to Arey), but if they lay off him then he'll just go to work and dominate his opposition for easy points all day. Then they'll also have men cutting towards the basket (like a short ball to a forward or an outside / inside play) so if the defence is too focussed on Haas or Arey on the 3pt line then they miss the short ball completely and he's straight through for the easy points.
