You're saying we should mix it up a little to give defenses different looks and I couldn't agree more. But it's also evident Rick doesn't want to reveal his system yet and just lets guys get comfortable to each other.
I don't agree however with your suggestion that we should ditch modern NBA moneyball. Luka and KP is a duo that fits that approach perfectly in that they create tons of space for shooters. We surely lack an elite wing, but I would nonetheless still establish the system and then adjust the personnel if needed.
I agree that this is obviously the approach here and I also think it's the right choice.
You don't need to be elite in shooting to be sucessful, that's what the game is realizing. Look at the boxscores nowadays. Almost every player that is shooting and hitting threes and it works. As long as you shoot at least with average accuracy, you're better off if you shoot as much as possible from three point land - that's just simple math.
Luka & KP may indeed not be elite shooters, but still at least average. So imo, shooting a high volume from outside is not a question of whether but only how for this team. That's their challenge currently.
