Dan Hurley's perspective:

"Asked if he felt Vital responded well to his benching, Hurley said: “Let’s just keep this to a basketball perspective. He competes his tail off. Those defensive rebounds, getting fouled, really just spurred on the team with those effort plays. He’s got to fight the urge to try to do too much off the dribble. If he relies on his 3-point shot and puts value on being a great defender and a good defensive rebounder, he’s a really valuable, good player on the court. When he starts trying to do too much off the dribble, things start to go sideways and he loses value as a player. But I loved the way the whole group competed today.” "

When he doesn't try to do too much he's "good" and "valuable".  Not sure Dan thinks Vital is the best player on this team, or the first option.  I can find these quotes all day.  Vital's points mostly come from other people breaking down defenders and making passes to him.  Now he hits those shots, which is fantastic.  But he's not a guy who can create offense for the team.
