Having Stewie and Jewell on the team helps you get open looks. They both draw double teams, and are good and willing passers.
That's why it's important for Gabby to shoot and start making three's. In reverse it gives everyone the ability to drive and beat their man to the hoop.
Ezi did that twice in the 3rd quarter against the Liberty.
