I do wonder whether his abilities are as attractive in a role that's more off-ball, but then again, Miami never intended for him to be on-ball this much. Dragic got hurt, and Herro finally looks like a rookie. So, it probably would've worked fine as long as he had the attitude about it.
Just goes to show how the "narrative" drives our opinion about certain players. |
EXACTLY. I think it was expected Nunn and Dragic would be handling the ball duties by now.
I personally think the issues with his last few destination were those teams had no identity. T-Wovles just felt pressured to run a offense around Wiggins who was inconsistent and KAT. Same thing happened with Sixers. ITs crazy to think Jimmy played with probably the two best big men in the league and it resulted in nothing...but not because of Jimmy.
