An observation - which may not be correct . . .

When Neo gets the ball in the backcourt and is pressured, he typically crouches over, turns, and faces the other basket (to shield the ball from the defender with his body). This has to affect his ability to see the court (and his fellow teammates). As noted, he also slows down.

Sam Vecenie of The Athletic wrote about Avdalas earlier today.
