look at Danny Green last year but he has virtually done NOTHING the entire year this season
In the end, you need talent and skill sets to be able to run a effective system, hitting the person that is open or in rhythm
With the proper spacing, ball movement, player movement, use off picks on and off the ball, and ATTACKING a team as a whole, Novak can look like a STAR at times, just like Danny Green was on fire for most of last years post season minus game 7
Playing with the right FIT system, coach/philosophy, with the right talents on the floor, and sacrificing for WINS
Same thing for players like Marco Belinelli, Boris Diaw, even Tiago Splitter, Norris Cole/Chalmers, Matt Barnes, Collison, and many other players that can have HUGE games at times and virtually NOTHING on other days
In the end, those guys are role players but are also important but they play off the abilities of other players in a SYSTEM
That is also why you cannot measure talent with success, if so, Eli Manning > Peyton Manning
Looking at other teams and players, look at the roles of players like Gereld Green (from Net's to Indiana to Sun's), Plumlee (Indiana to Sun's), Courtney Lee (from Houston to Boston to Memphis)
Just look at their bottoms and lows versus their highs, if they didn't play or barely played, it doesn't mean they suck
Well when those players do play with a team that FITS their style/roles they are complete steals, especially Gereld Green and Plumlee, considering they got 2 1st round picks for proven veteran in Scola
