I wonder if Green’s coaching has had any effect on Pettersson? He’s nowhere near as dynamic as he used to be so I wonder if his natural instincts have been muted? Other than that I don’t really know what’s wrong with him, but he doesn’t seem to even want to shoot. Maybe it’s just a confidence thing?
so we had three guys come into the league fully formed. we did literally nothing to develop any of them. and they were all statistically among the best in the league at what they did.
then each guy eventually hit a bit of a wall, and each guy bounced back: boeser with the first half of his sophomore year, petey tearing it up at the beginning of last year, hughes after the COVID break.
but all of them have regressed. i'm not saying travis' coaching makes them worse (though i'm not saying it doesn't either), but the things a young player has to do when the league figures him out, and when the league starts to pay ovechkin/mcdavid/karlsson-level attention to him, and when the refs start swallowing their whistles because reasons, green seems to have no idea how to help his players out there.
he didn’t use the same trainer.
his personal trainer is the head strength and conditioning coach for Vaxjo named Robert Lygdback as he didn’t go back to Sweden.
he stayed in Vancouver and trained with canuck staff, and we know of their short comings with players showing up not in shape.
ah the canucks training staff, which somehow destroyed what looked poised to be the greatest basketball dynasty of my lifetime.
you know your organization is special when they go cross-sport, like a certain someone giving away t-mac.
anywho, i didn't watch last night's game, which probably was a good thing. but damn petey, this is savage
