Bullock Bust Watch

[KillerLeft]

What's being lost in this conversation about DFS is this:

He's not the one deciding he needs a bigger role within this offensive system. I assume Kidd and Kokoskov have decided to try that, which means that A) they think this is a role that needs to be filled for the offense to move forward and B) they have identified DFS as the player most likely to succeed in that role (a decision made while Bullock was on the roster). 

I'm skeptical about DFS's ball-handling, too, but then again, I have seen him make some nice decisions with the ball when it's forced out of Luka or Brunson's hands this year (some). Like change in any area, this change will be a process, and I'm not sure we've seen enough yet to declare whether this is a good or bad idea. 

What is clear, I think, is that this is the SECOND coach who seems to value DFS's contributions and potential more than some of the fans. Now, it's undoubtedly true that there is an element of relativity to that - he is valued more than other players on this roster. That's valid. But, I strongly feel like the line for DFS's services would be fairly long if he was available. Obviously, he'd have a bigger role on some teams than others, but that's true of almost any player.
