I really do try to be cautious and not over-react about this stuff.

At what point does this become what we really have here?


Realistically, the scheme Adleman deploys will determine where P-Wat fits into what he can become. He's shown over the past 20-something games what kind of potential he has but didn't MPJ have that same potential under the Malone regime, only to be unleashed in BKN this year ? We already have Jokic as our Batman, Murray as our Robin, and AG as our Alfred (best Batman analogy I could come up with for him) as well as some other serious depth beyond adding P-Wat's star, so how/where does he fit in to continue his development ?

Good points. I'd hate to see ability like that stifled in any way.

It's a good problem to have, but it's still a bit of a problem -- if what we're seeing is real, and when his contract is up.

Gotta agree with you there, but at least it'll be Adelman making the decision instead of Malone, he was too set in his ways, Adleman seems a bit more open-minded about the process. However, there are only so many shots to be taken. Also, it'll be interesting to see what kind of reaction/acceptance of a role that the players (whether it be P-Wat or AG) are willing to accept when Jokic and all are back healthy.
