Thursday night edition of the pod we're going to close out the week here with our new regular contributor Dylan Murphy if you're not familiar with Dylan

He spent a few years in the D league as an assistant with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants

Then was a Hawks D league scout last year and now has his own site

The basketball dictionary also doing some writing for the athletic as well. So Dylan are you good to be back?

I'm good man. Always good to be here. Yeah, well, and someone else who is really good to be where they are is the Indiana Pacers

They are somehow have massaged out a top 10 offense for this team and not a team for whatever reason

I've had a ton of time to watch I really want to focus it on them more over the next week because we're doing Twitter

NBA show on them for Paul George's return next week

But I wanted to talk to you about you know

How are they doing it right now on offense with this team both schematically and statistically?

You know, I feel like the biggest thing with a lot of players when you see a big jump in their ability specific with

Specifically with oladepo and subonus. It's really just a function of opportunity

You know sometimes guys just are playing on a team where they're not going to touch the ball a lot

Which obviously happened in OKC last year and so what you might see as a big improvement really was always just there

They just needed a chance sort of to let that go and if you look at Indies roster overall

They really have a nice set of players that all can do multiple things

You know, maybe they don't have a ton of elite three-point shooters or elite drivers

But really look up and down their biggs and their smalls

Everyone can put on the floor and get to the room

Everyone can step out and hit a three-point shot and when you have five guys on the floor with multiple offensive skills

Constantly it becomes really tough to garden

Yeah, you know, I looked at them before the season. I incorrectly thought that they're in danger of maybe even being a bottom five offense
