They are playmakers but when your getting doubled and make the right basket play by passing to the open player and player X cant do anything. What than?
If they pass out to the open guy, then that guy would get a high percentage shot without having to create anything for themselves. I can't count how many times I saw DD go for a fade away jumper with two players in his face instead of passing to a wide open JV under the basket.

Don't know if I've ever seen a free agent camp roster...but this looks like a long list. Like they want to have a lot of guys in, maybe because they know the D-League team will be up and running next season? I hope so.

Chr1s1anL wrote: View PostGreat read by William Lou
It’s also easy for opponents to shut down Toronto’s guards because the rest of the players aren’t playmakers. Jonas Valanciunas can score around the basket, but he’s not creating anything on his own. Amir Johnson is a clever player — especially in the pick-and-roll — but is ultimately not a threat to explode for a 30-point night. And the wing is usually occupied by Terrence Ross, whose only reliable skill is spot-up shooting. Therefore, it’s easy for opponents to liberally double guards. If they pass, there’s not much of a secondary threat.

Are people REALLY still using that argument? I mean, I got it during the season but using it still?
