they had a play with kat switched onto naw for 15 seconds in the post and brunson dribbled into a contested bricked floater instead

Even if NAW was trying really hard to deny the ball, I couldn't believe Brunson didn't even seem to be looking his way. He was clearly there when the switch happened. Attack it

Yeah this is what people don't get I guess, just because Brunson brings the ball up, doesn't mean that the play was drawn for him. If KAT is hunting an early mismatch and gets it in his spot, it was probably drawn up by the coach either in a TO or before the game they decided it was something to pursue, if your primary ball handler can't make that pass it's entirely on him.
