Suggestion for future videos: would be interesting to Explain One Play Gone Wrong. I've noticed that you do this from time to time -- point out what went wrong -- but it seems to be an observation made in passing. It would be interesting if the focus of a study was all the ways in which small errors lead to mistakes, or the way a trend of a particular play over the course of a game or games -- like a player not reacting, then over reacting, etc. -- leads to mistakes.
I did remember it well!! It all started there. The rise of Jordan Poole started there: https://youtu.be/vuYpuUvh-VI look and enjoy, there’s everything in that gesture of Draymond, there’s mentorship, nurture, faith, energy, will. It all started there, Dray firing up JP3’s cardiac engine. From then on, it’s been Poole party.
Awesome video as usual! Random question -- I know I learn about the names of sets and plays from E1P videos, but where does Eric learn all of this from? Like the name of the "delay" set from D'Antoni. Feels like magic, and I am in awe and feeling edified as usual after watching a E1P video.
So just looking at the very first clip, the classic post-split, if that were Wiseman instead of Looney taking the ball in the post, is there a scenario where he starts to post-up, backing towards the basket the moment he gets the ball, and then depending on how the defense adjusts, pass it back to Poole, who took the screen, or if Wiseman has a good match-up, the defense will need to send help in the post, and there must be more openings on the perimeter.
Nice work, Eric. Enjoying seeing Bjelica getting up to speed so quickly with the offense and Wiggins seeming even more comfortable getting to the right spots than last year. And I love seeing Looney always in the right place (even if he didn't sell the fake handoff that well). Even though it's just preseason, it's nice to not have to see Oubre getting in Steph's way or Wiseman going to the wrong spot and forcing Draymond to jump up and down.
I wonder if we'll see some Steph - Klay - Poole - Green - Iggy/Beli setups. Circling/screening/passing until the opponents weep with frustration. If you put Wiseman in that last spot - and he learns how to move and screen reasonably - that could also be fun. Or same for JFK. Or JTA. Fun times ahead!

Also, Iguodala's interview talking about looking forward to playing with Wiseman: https://youtu.be/ORUbuX6iLyY?t=265
quietly amping me up for more Wiseman
