To the earlier point about AB no longer fitting here, I agree...to a point.
He does not work in the run 'n gun style they are trying to operate. He does, however, play quite well in a half court offense, where he can get set. For whatever reason, BC seems determined to keep up this fast play even though we really don't have the horses for it. Being young and quick is not an automatic indicator that a super fast pace is the way this team should play. Clearly this is not working.
I say go back to a half court offense (I have to guess that AB has been asked to play the perimeter since it always seems occupied) and you'll see AB do much better. Also, I must say (and I know many will shoot me for this) that KL is not the pg we need. He is tough and does score, but he too often looks for himself (or Derozan). I see too many times where he ignores an open man (be it Bargs or Amir) when it appears they have the easiest shot available. I think we were better with Jose as the starter (sorry, just my opinion...)
Derozan ROCKS (for the most part).
