Message: [QUOTE="Matrim55, post: 2012436, member: 3376"] Second part first: No way do we want Adams to spend more time off the ball. If he comes back next year I think he's a top candidate for the Cousy Award and, with good reason. He's not just a drive-and-dish guy, but has turned into a heady point guard who understands how to get his shooters the ball in rhythm, and how to move the ball quickly before the defense can rotate. He is, at this point, a pure PG. This doesn't mean that there won't be times when he and AG share the floor. I'm certain there will be, and Adams has the game to be dangerous as a SG. But that's not what we want. First part second: I'm less concerned with overall talent than "fit," and Vital – when he shoots with confidence – is a great fit next to Adams. He defends his butt off, he's a smart if not inventive passer, he rebounds bigger than his size on the weak side, and we know he makes clutch foul shots. As he improves his ball handling, I think he'll be more of a weapon. Anyway, it's a good problem to have. But I think "let's put the ball in Jalen's hands less" is a bad plan for 2017/18. [/QUOTE]
