[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1684403, member: 746137"] We are in agreement that diverse multidimensional offense is good. Curbelo ball-stopping on every possession is not that, even if he’s doing it extremely well. We over-relied on Ayo playing hero ball from time to time over his career here. Thankfully Ayo is Ayo and we got away with it quite a lot. Allowing that same drift with Curbelo would have a much less happy ending. If the defense has to respect shooters (which, forget these hand-wavey medicalized claims excusing Curbelo’s performance this year, the ice cold shooting slump letting defenses bunker in was the real problem) and the ball moves, you can’t guard Kofi and if you can’t guard Kofi you’re in serious trouble against us. Whatever our personnel we need to keep hammering that equation. [/QUOTE]
