left corner is NOT where you'd go for a potential bank shot - he looked back, and tossed it off the backboard to the trailing player - it was beautiful. Someone of his skillset, if you're trying to make that shot, you're putting up a VERY different looking layup attempt.

Here's how you know that Egor to Fous off the backboard was an intended pass:

KY said he didn't think it was.

Nov 9, 10:32am

KY doesn't know ball.

But also admitted it could have been & wouldn’t put it past him.

And also said they had reviewed this concept that very morning in practice.

The concept was "roll the rebound". Rebound implies a missed shot.

Nov 9, 10:35am

Yea that was his comment & not off the backboard dunk.

KY said he wants "rim runners," and that Fouss dunk would qualify! Love Fouss!

Egor himself said it was. Again, watch the video and watch his eyes.

It obviously was intentional.

He gave most of the credit to Fous for rolling toward the basket as

Oh, Fous deserves half the credit for sure!

That was immediately after the game. Wait till he sees the film.

Did they officially give him an assist or a missed shot?

Believe so. He went from 4 to 5 without another one otherwise.

I saw that too - quick glance to the right as he starts to drive

Also, that would be an absolutely terrible miss if it weren't.

Lots of “watch the play”. Anyone have a link?

And it was unlike any shot we've seen him take.

Yeah, if it was a shot, do people believe he missed a layup that bad?

^^This. What seems more probable: That our best passer made another great pass.

I did watch his eyes. I'm still not sure.

I said the same thing. Totally intended.

Official stats show Egor was 8-11 and 2-5 from 3. So it must have been …

Definitely on purpose.

Seems like he would have been more excited if it was on purpose. But I also
