Building Around Cooper: A Backward-Looking Thought Experiment

[cow]

Do you think he's the answer? I'm honestly asking - open to opinions. I think he's got more basketball in his tank, but I struggle to see him suddenly trying the full time PG gig again and being successful to the level many are hoping and some are assuming. 

Obviously, if I'm wrong about that it would speed things up, but...even then, how long would it matter?

I think he can easily run the show and something he did better than Luka was "forcing" the ball into his teammates hands either bringing the ball up the court or in sets which instills confidence in them.  He knows that benefits him and the team in the long run and knows when to picks his spots to get his own.  And while I think you should never draft out of need (nor to avoid "redundancy"), Kyrie being on the team makes me even more comfortable at drafting BPA. Further, if he were healthy now, I think he could have easily flipped 50% of our many, many clutch loses this season and The Landlord, PJW, and the likes would look much more attractive.
