This is a serious problem and Ernie Grunfeld’s trade deadline deal did not solve it. Bojan Bogdanovic may be a nice player but he does not create his own shot. The second unit stalls with Trey Burke running the point, and anyone he passes to just forces up a jumper.
I don’t know if it’s the injuries (he left the game early due to back spasms or tightness) or if it’s just how Mahinmi plays, but he does not seem to be a good fit for the second unit. Whenever he catches the ball on the perimeter he immediately looks to hand it off, thus advancing Washington no closer to a made basket.
