What will our offense look like next season?

I'm wondering how everyone imagines our offense will run this coming season. Admittedly, we don't have a primary playmaker/facilitator in the starting lineup, so I imagine we should run some kind of motion-based offense which would allow us to share the playmaking role among all players. The only problem I see is that Doc's sets tend to be rather unimaginative, and the offense bogs down until it becomes the "Lou Williams show" or something like that.

Who will primarily bring the ball up the court and what will we try to do before we dump the ball into one of our Isolation monsters and expect them to go to work?

We had a good ball movement against the gsw last playoffs. We were ok with shai-shamet-beverley as our frontcourt. Replace gallo with PG13 and shai with kawhi. We'll be good because we have players who can be efficient with off the ball game.

We run the pistol action so like last season a bunch of hand offs

Pat Bev has an excellent 3.53 assists-to-turnover ratio so I expect he'll bring the ball up on the first unit. I keep gravitating to Shamet on the second unit for spacing and although Lou will be the primary ballhandler [team-best 5.4 apg], Sham has the 2nd best A/TO on the team at 3.05. I'd love to see if he could bring the ball up for Lou and lighten his load a bit.

I also liked how quickly Mann brought the ball up in summer league, so if his handles are NBA ready, I can see him getting a few mpg fairly early in the year.
