Clayton has one foot past the three point line when Sharp has two feet on the ground and is in the shooting motion. If you're a shooter, you have to feel that pressure.
Still not the biggest fan of this play, but Sharp just has to pump fake and side step and he gets a clean look. Still don't like how long it takes to get into the set and then how long it takes.
Yup. The end of game Houston execution is why coaches are leaning towards just giving the ball to their stars and letting them iso at the end of the play. Houston ran two garbage plays, involving too many players who aren't capable of executing in that situation.
It's a bad set. It's one thing to go for the three to win, it's another thing to run a set that takes too long to run and basically leaves you with only one chance/shot. There's no second option. If the first option is taken away, there needs to be a second option.

Only first round picks have guaranteed deals. He could get drafted in the second round, but unlikely he gets a commitment from a team to give him a guaranteed deal
