The Drai one timer needs to be tried once and then avoided. It encourages him to stand still and that's a terrible strategy on the PP.

He and McDavid are most effective when they're both moving and making space for each other and the rest of the unit.

You can see Blackwood just default going to that side expecting pass every time. But we just kept on trying!! Until we finally didn’t
