There needs to be some middle ground between the Dion 'I'm getting my shots up even if I'm taking them from Kevin Durant" and ferg just fading into the background. It's tough to develop a 3/D guy on a bad team, because you don't want him to just start gunning and you don't have the type of players that get him easy looks.
Exactly.
Instead of taking it to the extreme, one way or the other, it's pretty obvious that Jeremy Lamb would be a significant upgrade over Ferguson at SF.
Of course he wouldn't average 25 ppg on this team, but I'd be willing to bet that he could give us 15 ppg....which is 5 times the production that we're currently getting out of our starting SF.
Also, consider the residual benefits of actually having another capable and willing shooter on the floor. Better spacing, opponents having to expend energy on both ends of the court, etc.
