We need the ball in the hands of ppl who can challenge the defense in multiple ways. Sounds like Floyd maybe one who can do that. Too often we wasted time on offense with the ball in the hands of ppl who couldn’t challenge the defense. Eg Polley is a tremendous catch and shoot/ one dribble shoot guy, but him with the ball in his hands on the perimeter is zero threat to the defense from a passing and ball handling perspective. If the defender has closed out on him, him having the ball is basically killing shot clock. Similar story for Whaley (as great of a defender and hustle guy as he is), except not much of a shooting threat. Jackson took a big step forward in terms of threatening the defense with improving his shooting and he’s obvious a gifted passer but without being able to actually look to the basket off the dribble, he’s very guardable.
