While I agree with this article, isn't this just pointing out what we argued about all of last year, in having non shooters (roberson, to a lesser extent sabonis ) that aren't worthy of being guarded kill the whole offense in a trickle down, as it makes it so hard on role players like adams(clogged lane to roll), oladipo (driving into a wall), etc? Didn't you argue against that very point emphatically, pointing to Robersons on/off numbers, etc. Not that it really matters but pretty sure that happened (maybe it was high horse slick watts with his spreadsheets and CARMELO projections not sure).

Time for adams to produce every night now though, no more excuses. The whole he's a good guy, funny,etc. is not enough anymore, not with the $ hes making. He's gotta be a nightly force, deandre level like the article suggests, which I think he can now that the pieces make some sense.

We all knew spacing would help.

We also know Roberson helps.

Roberson is still going to be playing 30 minutes a night. I'm thinking minute distribution will end up being something along the lines of:

Russ- 33
PG- 33
Melo- 30
Roberson- 30
Adams- 30
Patterson- 20
Abrines- 20
Felton- 20
Dakari- 12
Grant- 12

Having shooters that aren't terrible at everything else helps. Playing shooters that are awful overall players hurts. You've had this explained to you many times, but robes is not the best option at sg, he's the best option we have. If you can explain a way to get klay then we'll all be great with starting him.

I know. If your claiming that presti wasn't capable of making it so he wasn't the best option, I'd disagree there tho, my whole point all along, which you all have failed to see At least he finally rectified it this off season tho, and itll be easier to deal with since there are 3 guys that wont be affected much by the roberson trickle down because they are so good. Hopeful for a russ/george( he can guard the best wing),melo, patterson, adams closing unit.Adams should be able to thrive despite him now which will eleveate the team though regardless.

Also, to add...people on here DID argue that Roberson in fact boosted the offense, and wouldn't acknowledge my point that he had a trickle down on guys like adams and dipo. But then a source or media member makes the same point and suddenly your in agreement with it. Just funny to me is all.

I agree, unfortunately, although I don't think Felton plays 20 min a night. I just wish they'd be flexible for once, recognize when Robersons d isn't needed or being effective, and capitalize on/try more offensively dominant lineups to their advantage when they should/need to.
