Sometimes I think teams completely lose focus on what is important. if Lively with his ability to see the floor and pass the ball, develops an offensive game in the post to about 8-10 feet and shoots FTs at +80%, it´s a lot more useful than making 33% on two corner threes a game.
Generally I agree - but when you have the best slasher in the game in Luka (as long as his knees and ankles are healthy) and probably another Top 5 or Top 10 slasher in Kyrie the ability to spread the floor is of highest importance. You‘ll see it next year as the „Klay-effect“ as well - I guess we probably won’t get much more points from three by adding an alltime great shooter, but more easy points from close range.
