Message: [QUOTE="NycUcWbbFan, post: 5327548, member: 13453"] Just thinking out loud: what do a historic amount of ball handlers (especially at the W/F positions) and posts, a stacked full roster and mix-match portend, if anything? [LIST] [*]This is the situation Geno and CD find themselves in this coming season and the next (more so with Olivia?); [*]The conventional wisdom on having many high BBIQ ball handlers are that many of the best players are that and they greatly enhance read-and-react; [*]And what if all players — except longer-runway freshmen — have made their cases in practice for Geno to play them? [*]This past season, exceptional guard depth (with Paige calling Jokic-point-forward Sarah a “big guard”), led Geno to hone small ball (no traditional center) as a winning time combination; [*]Could the Geno-curated rosters this season and next (with Olivia?) portend to Geno honing another [I]family[/I] of winning time combinations where there are no purer 1’s (a la MN Lynx) or the purer 1’s vastly improve on their 3-pt accuracy; [*]Of course, these combinations must be TN and SC proof; [*]With agile posts and wings, these combinations are not necessarily strategically confined to games mostly played in the half court. [/LIST] But only Geno can truly answer this question, but it is fun to speculate anyway. This past season, he had the Big 3 exceptional [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/nbadiscussion/comments/oe95e6/how_effective_are_multiple_elite_ballhandlers_on/']hybrid[/URL] ball handlers, but the team was a little bit thin and green in the post.
