And you can move the ball in to KP at the corner of the FT line, but if he just passes the ball right back out to the perimeter, you probably didn't accomplish anything and you wasted precious shot clock time.
What the Mavs urgently need is coaching on effective player movement, and early in the shot clock. Cutting without the ball, setting effective screens, things like that. I think Luka is great at getting the ball to guys, but they have to move.
If Offensive Game Plan A revolves around little player movement...and that plan seems to be ineffective on a particular night...having a Plan B that requires a little bit more movement from players at worst gives you more attacking options.
