That's totally hypothetical and nothing more than an opinion. Larry Drew won't be the coach and Knight won't be the primary ball handler. U have zero idea of what Smart will be like in the pros and I'm willing to say now, that a 3pt chucker is something he won't be.
An actual coach basically kills everything u just said because players that are well coached don't do things like that.
It was an over-exaggeration but ok.
No way that backcourt works though, especially if you want Parker/Giannis to succeed. Two ball dominant ball pounders without great vision and questions off the ball next to 2 (hopefully) dynamic, on ball scorers?
I knew u were exaggerating and didn't mean to come off like I was taking what u said literately, 1st off it takes longer than 2 seconds off the shot clock to even cross half court so shooting a 3 in that time span is already out of the question if we want to get technical lol.
Basically my point boils down to coaching. And I mean it's not like we are talking ball pounders like Lance Stephenson or Brandon Jennings though. I think ur describing more selfish style players. I don't view Knight as "selfish" and I can't see Smart being that way either unless he falls into a situation in LAL where he might have the highest usage rate for any rookie ever. But how's that his fault? More than likely that'll be the role given to him by his coach right? Both Knight and Smart seem like decently high IQ guys. A good coach could figure out the roles of each player and how to exploit team and individual strengths and hide team and individual weaknesses.
I mean for the sake of argument I can also put it like this, if Larry Drew is the coach then I retract pretty much everything I said and agree with u 100% that Smart and Knight couldn't co-exist. But, if the coach that fits my description (whoever it may be) is brought in, then it should be no problem for every player to buy into the system and that back court with both their skill sets could work no questions whatsoever.
