The thing that will be the hardest for the team to work out IMO is when a player is cold early. Normally with 2 or 3 scorers they have a chance to shoot themselves out of it. But with FIVE options the cold player is not as likely to get the shots they need to get out of the slump. Take Dirk last night. If he had another 10 shots who can say he wouldn't have hit 7 of them? But because he struggled early other people took his shots.

I think you're correct with your statement. But, I believe there's an issue equally as important to possibly watch out for. With 5 options, the hot player could end up not getting enough looks. How often did it occur last year with 4 options to where Dirk or Fin would be on fire but couldn't get the ball? That issue will only be magnified adding a 5th top scoring option.
