Sometimes, when a NBA player sees there shot in the NBA dwindling, they go all out working hard on their game so they can stick with a team. We have seen it many times before like Redick in his rookie contract year. After flunking out of Detroit and Chicago, he worked to make a team. Glad it worked out for him. He was horrid here most of the time showing glimpses of being able to score here and there, but even that was rare, more like once in 10 games.
We've also seen many times that when young players have leg injuries, it may take them 2 or so years to get back to form. Then it could take them another year or so to get into their proper role on the team. We saw this with Curry (his first few years were filled with injuries), Middleton, currently with Cousins, the list goes on. We can even see it with Reggie Jackson. It took him almost a year to get right.
In the end, when the player can play to their full potential, talent always wins. It only happens when the GM/coach sees the fit and puts the puzzle pieces together the right way. Change of scenery only works when the person in charge of the scenery puts the player in the right position to succeed.
It's all a value judgement. Is the talent worth the wait? Do you underpay the temporary underperformer, or do you overpay the mediocre veteran? GSW and Milwaukee made the decision to underpay the temporary underperformers...
You need 2-way wings, 2-way shooting bigs, and you can't allow low iq players on the court. Assist/turnover ratio is crucial. Shooting point guards are icing on the cake IF they are plus defenders.
Weaver & Casey, govern yourselves accordingly!
