"He was in a system, the only system in NBA history that allowed a team to win a championship without having a transcendent scorer while still having offence as their identity, but we want to make sure all of those wonderful instincts are rooted out so that me and Demar don't look too too bad when we go into hero ball mode."

However, I think overall it's very good for CoJo's development. I noticed in pre-season and early in the regular season that he looked a bit robotic and almost over-programmed and looking for guys to pass to who weren't in spots he was used to. I think he eventually realized that Raptor player's simply don't move around - it's too cold up here in WeTheNorth. But the positive is that Cory is starting to look more fluid and instinctive out there as he gets aggressive and looking for his own shot, a bit Parker-esque. His confidence is definitely up there and knowing you can score is a good way to boost that.
But, yeah, the danger is Casey starting to drool that he's got another ISO guard who doesn't have to involve teammates to get a quality shot, and gives him what he wants on the defensive end. CoJo could possibly be the Casey wet dream come to life.

When I read that Lowry snippet, I infer from it that there is an idea in his head that this team is not really very good so Lowry and Derozan have to carry it. Thing is, while that may have been true 2 years ago, they now have a much improved JV, a legit starting-caliber NBA SF in Carroll and quality role players like Patterson, Joseph, Scola. Forcing stuff with Lowry and Derozan shouldn't be the default option but I get the distinct impression that Lowry and Derozan don't feel that way....

Seriously, motion/ball movement in the offence is an obvious ingredient to playoff/championship success. We should be teaching our other players to play more like Joseph (and even Carroll you still see looking for passes to guys that aren't in the right spot sometimes), not the other way around.

This isn't a strategy relative to 3 pt shooting. It's a strategy relative to the fundamentals of basketball. That's why it makes so much sense that if you go back up Pop's coaching tree, it leads back up to Doctor James Naismith (via Larry Brown, Dean Smith and Phog Allen).
