Paolo and Franz are the playmakers


So what you are saying is... there is no place for AB here?

If Paolo would concentrate on facilitating this game that would be great.

He is almost there. All Star break starts on Valentine’s Day. Paolo just has to get through next week.

Nah, Paolo needs to learn how to do something more than just play iso ball and hunt for fouls. He needs to learn how to play off the ball. Needs to learn how to pick and roll. Needs to learn how to play defense. Just needs to learn how to round out his game.

When his shots aren’t falling all these things become more glaring. When they are falling it’s easy to forget because he can be unstoppable.

They are giving Paolo cushion on that middy and he is dribbling into a harder more contested middy.

I think Paolo is not happy with his defense but he doesn’t know what to do to get better. He needs to work with someone this off season.

I would never give Gary Harris run over Jett. Dude shows up when he wants and isn't good anymore anyway. The .1% chance of developing Jett has to be worth more right?

Paolo is taking bad shots and losing his man on defense.

Harris is going to be this year's Fultz. Mosely is always going to play him over Jett.

Does Paolo ever box out on rebounds?
Its basic skills, he has to do something on defense.
