With Monta, the point guard in this offense is really more of a spot-up shooter.
Not sure how Carlisle handles this.

I agree. Monta is great, but he needs the ball in his hands to be the scorer/playmaker he is. Notice earlier this season, Monta's number were down because the ball was in Nelson's hands WAYY too much.
I don't know how this gets resolved. But I trust Rick.
