Using Let the coach decide allows the game engine/coach to better rotate the players, in order to put the best player for that moment of the game. If you recall our chat on Facebook, I told you guys that we would have clinched a 60 gap during the second half and I told you that Brin would have played a little more in the second half.
So I'm sorry if Brin is feeling underrated, but the overall performance of the team is what really matters and if you take a look, we had three players rotating in SG (Ocampo starter, Gotardo and Salinas subs), we did always damage at every step of the match and the coach used a lot better the rotation than without LCD.
Just to say, with Strictly follow my depth chart, Gotardo would have played rather a half of his minutes and as you can see he's been our greatest player on court. His +/- was the best by far together with Montemayor, having him and Gayoles together allowed us to improve our flow which was great against a FCP. One of the reasons behind the LCD was exactly this one, I wanted to test if according to the game engine, Gayoles and Gotardo could have played together and the outcome was great.
Obviously the opponent was weak, so we will need a more challenging match to verify how strong we can be.
If we want to compete with China or Taiwan or even Hong Kong (this season they seem to be BRUTAL on D!) we need not to have a single scorer but more offensive options, otherwise we will still and always lose. What I want to achieve is a good balance between each role and between starters and rotations, we need to have always someone scoring, someone defending, someone allowing the flow to run smoothly.
It's not easy, because it requires training and patience, it requires to have the right players in the right shape next to each other, but that's the key for me to make the steps in which we're still behind compared to the top teams.
Hope it helps to make you understand
Just for stats, Salinas did 21 points too in fewer minutes, had also a better plus minus than Brin. Not to blame on him I mean, it's because they played different parts of the match, but that's the porpouse of the Let the coach decide + blank spot.
