Agreed we don’t need to put a limit on him but at the same time I don’t think we need to wait it out either. What after 2 years he still has shaky handles in traffic and makes poor decisions? Regardless of why they drafted him the ultimate goal is to hit on a draft pick. So what if he is a Klay or a Reggie Miller or a RIP type than a Beal type off guard?


I think every player like him who has a really good looking shot would probably benefit a lot if they are forced to play off the ball a lot in their early years. It will slow down the game for him plus force him to be patient and work hard for shots. Whether he eventually becomes a much more adept ball handler or not the ability to play off ball a lot can only help him.

I do believe that if there's anyone who can develop him appropriately, it's Kidd.
