Atlason just needs to WANT to play defense more. Defense is so much about heart. Learning to anticipate helps, but defense is a lot about effort and will.
HH I said almost the identical thing during the game re defense and analytics of these 2 players. Drives me nuts. Good point!
watching live I thought same thing on Skaljac taking the layup after the block, but watched it back on replay and the ball went more towards the sideline and not sure he would have had the angle or the lead to get to the basket before the defender could contest. it definitely wasn’t a breakaway/uncontested layup if he had gone to the hoop.

You know Atlason has lost confidence because earlier in the season he was throwing up threes like he had no conscience. Now he sometimes has good looks and passes the ball.
