This is obviously true, but doesn’t address the other goal I mentioned…a larger role for Green. The staggers you outline work if everyone else can hit their 3’s. I’m afraid it might limit Green’s development and I’d like a path for Green to develop into at least a 12 minute backup this season. San Antonio made it work with DeRozan and at least one other non 3-point shooter. But, we have higher aspirations and the Spurs are largely devoid of 3 point shooters. So, they had no choice.
