Buzz is obviously changing his use of Derrick to fit the situation offense vs. defense. Also, pulled him at the 23 second mark re inbounds against the press. Obviously DWs free throw shooting is apparent to Buzz. No knock on Derrick as Buzz needs to maximize DWs strengths vs. weaknesses. Same is true of Jake as Buzz substituted Juan for Jake on defense several times as he noted in post game comments.

I personally was super pissed at Derrick when during our first possession, his guy sagged down so low that Chris was not able to find his way out of the lane in a timely fashion. Come on Derrick!!! Damn indirect turnovers! I wonder who Buzz has charting the indirect turnover stat on the bench.![]()
