I had to skim the board last night because I went to the TCU game (which is an 11 hour endeavor for me). So, I don't recall who said this, but I liked it. The theory went that THJ the bench player feels compelled to try to do too much. Whereas, THJ playing next to Luka plays a limited role that he's more suited to. Maybe its BS and we are just seeing a short term bump from the 'promotion'. I'm hopeful. I like how it splits up some of the non-defenders who were on the bench together. I'm not a huge fan of Luka, THJ and Dinwiddie sharing the floor (and counting on Powell and DFS to clean up their mistakes) the first few minutes of each half.
In four games of Hardaway starting, THJ is +18. One bad game, one +0 and two good games. His O/D ratings are 121/118 in those games. Not great, but as a reserve the numbers are 94/113. Super small sample size alert.
