He dominated against an all star team? Should't that tell you something more than being a backup point guard?
did you really read my post ? The NBA schedule and style of play is too physically demanding to think he could realistically be a 35 minute player. There are also a ton of things he does exceptionally well that are a non-factor in the NBA (like moving off the ball, hand-offs, moving the ball into the midrange area strategically). He´s not fast enough or strong enough to consistently get to the basket in the NBA, so he is kinda limited to being a passer and a shooter off the ball. Internationally, even against the US, there are much more opportunities to free him up to get to the FT-line extended and then pass the ball to the wing or a cutter.
Perhaps, but that's on the NBA having strange rules. The FIBA rules are real basketball and you don't have to go back further than the 90s to find virtually identical rules. Australia barely played zone D btw.
You are officially crowned the FIBA rules and regulations advocate on this forum.
