Now if he could stop dribbling off his own feet and stop dribbling straight into double and triple teams

But most of these highlights are him running downhill on the break, finishing out of the dunker spot, finding gaps and cutting to the hoop, finishing off the PnR, facing up from short to mid-range where he doesn't need to take too many dribbles. He's been miscast with us so far. I wonder if the Point Randle experiment would work better when we play him at center. Right now, he's better as finisher for us at the forward spot. We'd get nailed on rim protection The Future is Bright!

Maybe try it out on small ball units. I agree, it's not a look you should try for an entire game. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

He can contribute but is being misused too much at the moment. Most of his TOs (to my eyes at least) are from dribbling, not bad passes We have to stop criticizing good players, simply because they're not Superman saving our sorry asses. Julius seems to have his head screwed on straight, plays hard, seems like a good teammate. At the moment, he's being misused and pressing (5)(5)

AND at the end of the day you always have to ask how it nets out. Same argument could be made against Draymond playing C at times has worked for GSW and far from a guarantee Julius at 5 would be better -- but worth trying at least in practice. The biggest issue is his dribble AND in traffic. He's complaining about doubles but as others have noted he also dribbles into them. He's not throwing the ball away. Because I can't help myself, I blame Fizz. He seems to have a penchant for having players play to their weaknesses. Yes, Frank can guard multiple positions, but that doesn't mean you should start him at 2 or 3 (last year). Yes RJ can handle the ball and reminds Fizz of Kawhi (no that doesn't mean he should be pg -- this much). Yes Julius can pass/facilitate (but he can't dribble in traffic) We have an awful roster right now compounded by clueless coaching At the moment, our philosophy seems to be, we'll tire out our best players while they play ISO on offense, and at least 4 of your guys will be able to take a breather We had all that FA money plus traded KP and we don't have a pg who can spread the floor even with an open shot -- 3 of them!! This is compounded by having a SG who also doesn't spread the floor (I love RJ but the point is still the same). (5)(5)

He's giving effort at the very least...we'll see how long that even lasts at the 20 game mark. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too.
