I maintain what I've said all along.  Ollie brought in some nice players.  Vital has panned out well.  Enoch, Jackson.  Carlton was better (prior to this season) than his ranking suggested.  Whaley has become a terrific contributor.  I can't evaluate Al due to injuries.  Jalen Adams was a special player who was unlucky.

What I think Ollie was bad at was roster construction.  He tended to get guys without thinking too much about how they fit together.  So he used Vance Jackson in a role Jackson didn't think was good for his future, and he walked.  He played toothpick Larrier at the 4 while Whaley never got any minutes there.   He brought in a ball dominant McD PG in Gilbert to play alongside Jalen Adams, a ball dominant PG.  Carlton is an old school, slow game half court center, and yet Kevin didn't want to play that way any more than Hurley does.

I think Hurley is focused on fit above all else.  We are beginning to see what happens when we play roughly 6 guys that are playing the game the same way.  Josh is still on the outside looking in, and Sid is halfway in halfway out.  He should fit this style but hasn't really shown that yet.
