My $0.02...This is a good example among other things - of why we need to get into position as soon as possible. I can't say how hard the new L was or was not running to get down court but when the second elbow came he had just reached the end line. Since there's no press just get there and be ready to accept whatever play is coming.
Obviously, watching the ball contributed to this as well since even if he wasn't at the end line he should've at least been looking at the post players because they'd already set up along the lane.
