I’m not sure the 5 is where he exhibits his transitional value to the NBA.  He’s going to have to show that he can shoot and create in space. We know he’s exceptional at running off screens on the catch and shoot.  What we don’t know is that if that window isn’t open immediately, can he maneuver off the dribble, whether it be 1 or 10 dribbles. What we’ve seen him do a lot of when he does put it on the floor is a very heads down telegraphed dribble drive, which isn’t that effective. He loses all sight of the possible pass opportunity and seems to lock himself up near the rim, sometimes it works but it’s not very fluid.  Would like to see him develop some of the Cam stuff: stop and go, mini step back, up and under.

It’s gonna be interesting to see if Hurley gives him regular chances to showcase this kinda iso stuff as it’s not really part of the system unless late in the shot clock.  I’m guessing this year they may go to AK more often in those situations ala Newts role much of last year.  Kinda feel like there may be some payback for him coming back in that way, and because he’s a senior statesmen and an emblem of this amazing run.
