line up: Frank, Quickly, RJ, Toppin and Mitch
Frank's best PG play comes in a structured offense. If we learned anything from international play where he was great vs NBA competition its that.
Quickly is our best natural shooter and was an excellent defender in college
Basically I would like to see a lot of P&R with Frank and Toppin. Then you can move Frank to the corner where he shoots the 3 at 50% and run the ball through RJ and you have Frank (corner), Quickly and Toppin spreading the floor. Mitch can crash the boards and clean up RJs drives or look for lobs.
And thats it. Run the ball through RJ and Toppin until.
Bullock fits nicely as SG there also as a 3&D guy.
RJ and DSjr are interchangeable in those sets
Noel and Mitch are interchangeable
-defend the perimeter
-protect the rim
-attack the basket, spread the floor
A lot people like Miller last year but he sucked. We watched Elf/Randle grind out possession after possession while RJ got froze out and there was clearly zero commitment to development past Fizdale taking the kids out for candy and an NBA playoff game.
The fastest track to a better team will be developing RJ/Toppin as primary scorers and putting Frank/Mitch/Knox/DS/Quickly into roles they can thrive in. If we suck we suck, but thats how you get better. Thibs can lean on any vets he wants and that is understandable, but we have wasted so much time with these young players already
