If Lonzo can hit his shot the rest will fall into place. Guys like Rose and Kyrie get open and can create their own space which is hard, but effective too!
Hard yes....Effective? no....It doesn't do much for the team, when the team is standing around watching you like an And 1 tape.....Then you get a last minute shot, miss an open shot. Off course it's a miss, you get cold standing around watching all game.
Ball and Frank....yes our young pg....is in that class of pass first PG's. The difference is Frank actually takes pride in his defense, and he can shoot. He brings more to a team than a scoring PG. I wanted Monk or Dennis Smith Jr.....for different reasons. But for the teams growth, especially with this youth movement, we need a PG like Frank who can shoot, pass first type, and plays defense. That's a rare combination in todays NBA. The Ron Harper types was the norm back in the days, now its rare....But still needed to grow championship caliber talent. A pass first PG will make a young star like KP reach his potential. THj will help spread the floor. The only problem is how much hes getting paid. But that means we now have to get creative and Dolan pays more luxury tax. Hopefully he restructures his deal, after KD did it for GS....and Wade did it for Miami during their championships.
