For me, the issue will likely be the ball-handling.
We're used to seeing Luka spend a good number of seconds dribbling and staring at his defender. Then Luka would start moving and it would be like someone started a blender. I can't believe the offense is going to look anything like that now, and I'm not sure I necessarily picture it with CF at the point of attack.
I do think though, I could see CF doing a lot or work setting screens, lots of pick-and-roll, and rotating the perimeter just like he did at Duke. Maybe he quarterbacks certain sets and plays an outsized role in running the offense, but I can't see him just dribbling for seconds at a time, just to take measure of his defender the way Luka did.
It's going to be different. It's inevitable. But this playing the 1 or 2 spot may not be as relevant as we think it is with a different style of play.
