I think Barea is a good example of the type of role he can have. Different players and skill sets, but same type of role. Same size too.
Time will tell what he is or will become. I think it is pretty remarkable how fast he has gained the trust with the rest of the team. Most of the guys know what good basketball is too, so that is not nothing.
Also, he very quickly made this a functioning offense....sure AD returning may have been the biggest reason. Still though this offense was worse than watching paint dry and now it looks competent when he is on the floor.
