TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[ItsGoTime]

Can he create shots? Yes.

Is he going to be what those calling him a "ball-handler" expect? No.

He is less of a PG than Dinwiddie is. He's a bad iso player, that's it.

Ok, THAT is the issue you're taking with this type of move. To me, it was said earlier, this swap allows us to be an offense similar to what we faced in the LACs for 2 years in the playoffs. No one on the team other than Luka is a floor general (PG) before or after this trade. IF Levert pushes SD to the bench, I think it bodes well for the offense as it becomes more of that drive and kick style of play (should always be utilizing the PnR to drive too) with Luka, Wood, Levert, Green and SD being the drive guys after the offense sets up. That leaves DFS, Bullock, Wood, Green, Maxi (if he comes back) and SD as the catch and shoot 3 shooters/spacers too.


That is an 8 man rotation that has some potential to get out of the 1st round without relying so heavily on Luka to go supernova all game every game. It's not about bringing up the ball, it's about conserving his energy during offensive play and not having to always be the one to initiate the PnR/drive. It's also a detraction to always HAVING to win by hitting 3's.
