Part 5/8:
As the discussion continued, the general manager addressed the potential mismatch between the players and the style of play implemented by Montgomery, particularly regarding the shift from a shot volume approach to a possession-based game. The players’ struggle to adapt to this change was compounded by injuries and a lack of chemistry that seemed present from the start of the season.
Ultimately, the general manager sought to reiterate that while adaptability is crucial, the fundamentals of gameplay should never be compromised. Expecting established players to adjust quickly is reasonable, and thus he hopes to return to a more simplified approach that emphasizes effective systems rather than complex strategies that aren’t resonating with this roster.
