Iisalo explains late-game lineup.

“We had our two best ball handlers up top, you know, to bring the ball up. That was tie-in, tie-in Boozer in that situation. And when you're down, I would say the better option is to take the shot earlier so you have a chance to rebound. We also had very strong rebounders on the court, our three best rebounders with Cedric and Zach and Isaiah.”

Boozer has shown assertiveness in late-game situations and carries that responsibility well.

“What I like is that Cam is in that situation now, has been a couple of times, and has been very assertive, and somebody who, you know, carries the responsibility of that, and that bodes well for the future.”

Edey and staff are working to expand his basketball library for playoff and small-lineup situations.

“One of his challenges and one of the things that is our common project is to get him to utilize those strengths but also at the same time to develop this general library of basketball knowledge so he can stick in the game in the playoffs or in games where teams put smaller lineups or shooting lineups there.”
