I love when those support guys knock down 3s but we have extended scoring droughts because only JB, Luka and SD have potential to take their man off the dribble.

I don't disagree, but how many teams actually have more than three ball handlers? I doubt it's very many.

I mean, ours are all PGs. Not one other positional player on our team can dribble, aside from Jgreen if you want to force that shoe on. Our natural SGs and SFs or guys with size can't dribble for shit. And our PFs and Centers can't dribble or work the block at all.

Luka and Brunson are also the best post players on the team.

Maybe so, but Luka is a point guard in a power forward's body. I feel like Luka being effing HUGE more or less makes up for Brunson being undersized. And Dinwiddie is the right size for a SG/SF.

Again though, I don't disagree with we need a wing who can handle the ball and score on their own. I was just making that observation that with if everything else on the roster was exactly the same, and we just had even a marginal upgrade at the 5, we'd be a 60-win team and legit title contender.
