However, CF's experiment has a bigger chance of actually becoming a success, as the group around him should be a better fit for this role as is his skillset, especially shooting ability.
But ultimatly: as long as Kyrie is here, CF will only act in spurts as PG.
I mean, Kyrie isn’t even a PG. At least not in the traditional sense. That’s why I think we all need to open our mind a little and move away from the old traditional position labels.
Same with Klay. He’s labeled as a SG but I’d argue he’s way more SF than SG. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what the lineup card shows next to your name. It’s about putting 5 guys on the floor that can execute your offensive philosophy. The biggest thing in my mind is matchups on the other end. Can you guard a quick twitch guy 1v1, and if not what is your defensive plan to cover for it. Do you have someone that can fight over screens if it calls for it. Can you hold your own in ISOs against a Big like AD on the elbow. In the regular season it won’t matter as much, but in a series, when we see real game plans, that’s when you need to matchup and execute, but you need a versatile roster to do so if you want to win it all.
