That's why the fit works with our two 6'10 "Point Forwards"
If we are really into the idea of Cole as a starting PG and giving up on the defense then all of the other aforementioned players in the bagazillion of trades only make more sense, not less.
A much better, longer, even more athletic, higher-volume, higher accuracy Cole sounds like a pretty good player to me.
He's a worse defender statistically than Cole, by quite a bit.
And he doesn't really solve the playmaking issue in any respect.
What he does bring is what you said which is more high volume/higher accuracy three point shooting from one of the guard spots.
And I'm not at all turning my nose up at that by any means, but I think people are overrating what that skill set will really do for the team.
There's still going to be a huge amount of possessions where Paolo and Franz initiate the set from beyond the 3PT line and the success or failure of the set is fully predicated on their ability to get past their man without turning over and making the correct read based on the help defense.
… WCJ back in the starting lineup, ugh please tell me this is a move to restore some trade value this summer. Garry “Hamstring”Harris coming off the bench logging 16 non impactful minutes, taking away meaningful minutes from AB’s development and evaluation. Jonathan Issac fresh off All-Star Bible Study Camp putting the team on his well rested back for the least amount of minutes played by anyone with 11.
