Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5144746, member: 1268"] Rotation dynamic is at 90%, pretty clear at this point we need Nowell back and healthy as the primary backup ballhandler to Diarra. We should be seeing more light bulbs going off with AM at this point, and it just doesn’t seem like it’s happening. Still looks uncomfortable. I’d like to hold out hope, it’s just that his physical limitations give me little confidence. It’s going to be interesting to see how he’s used by March as up till this point he’s providing absolutely nothing this team needs. It feels like Dan Hurley is going to have to make a choice between Nowell and him and stick to it at some point sooner rather than later as you can only experiment for so long. Liam is the more dynamic scorer to AK, and honestly has more natural leadership traits. It’s not his team per se, but he has established himself as one of the emotional leaders of the team. He’s an alpha. He has great body language, which resonates into the confidence of the team. AK just doesn’t have that, his skillset is more of a great complementary player as is his disposition. Will be interesting to see if that’s a shift that plays out. Stew always comes in with great energy and confidence. Love the idea of him providing instant offense and a spark off the bench, as he’s playing that role really well. Getting him in that 15-18 minute range as a primary bench guy feels a good balance. It’s funny thinking back to everyone here projecting out the minutes distribution in the preseason, thinking how are we going to get all these studs equitable minutes and how off that was. Always lands back on a top 7-8 guys getting the bulk, with a top 5-6 getting majority. [/QUOTE]
