Not saying that he has to be down inline with top of the key/free throw line area, but just maybe hedging towards 28 ft. mark or somewhere closer to mid-court.

Even if it sets up where he did, why did he just stop when the pass went long? He should busted his but toward the frontcourt as soon as that pass went long. Instead, he stopped and watched from 70 feet away. He could have easily been 20-30 feet closer if he goes on the pass.
