Steals. That is the story. He turns bad ball security into free points.
How we handle him
Ignore him as a scorer until he proves something. The priority is not to gift him live-ball turnover chances on the other end.
How to attack him
Punish the gamble. Shot fake, back-cut, rip through, and make him pay for reaching. If he is on the floor, your offense should get cleaner, not messier.
Assignment priority
Coverage priorityVery low.
