The Strus is Loose

[Peacedog]

One thing to keep in mind is that among players who have started 40 games this season, he's bottom 10 in both 3PT openness and 3PT shot quality, (via BBall-Index.)

Sounds like he should be jacking up fewer threes.

The starting 5 we've been trotting out is elite defensively. DM may be the weakest link, and he ain't too shabby.

We were told Struss couldn’t play defense

we were told this was because he was playing in Miami and he would get a ton of open shots here and up his three point percentage -- which has basically always been meh (36% regular season, 32% in the playoffs) -- would go up a lot. I guess not, he's shooting under 34% this season. He's like a mediocre shooter and being a shooter is his thing, but he's somehow contributing a lot to the team...has a +8.9 on/off. He's a much more well rounded basketball player than expected.

We've unlocked the Strus!

He seems to have a really high basketball IQ, always standing in the right place, makes the right pass. Does a lot of intangibles that don’t show up on the score sheet. Same goes for his defense.

Not saying he was the key to Miamis success but they sure as hell don’t look nearly as good without him

I didn't realize how well-rounded his entire game was. I kinda of figured that if he wasn't hitting shots he was a liability. That has not been the case at all.

That shot deserves a bump to this thread.

Listened to Dallas radio broadcast. Good time for Strus to bust outta that slump.

1st big payoff for Max

Holy ShiZZNuts! What a shot, but also saved us tonight nearly single handily in the 4th.

2nd. He had a similar game at the beginning of the year.

POLSKA!!!!!!!!!

Love seeing him have a big statistical night. He’s had fewer of them than I’d hoped for, but he makes a difference in winning every ball game. Cavs are very lucky to have him.
