Still, I'm not sure Giannis really moves the needle enough for this team. I'm on the guards-only bandwagon.
Yeah, he’d undoubtedly make them even more lethal in transition, but that’s hardly the weakness that needs addressing. This team is in dire, desperate need of exactly one thing: a player who can consistently and reliably create scoring advantages against good, set defenses in half court situations. The overwhelming majority of players who fit that description in the current NBA are guards.
If the guard they find is a pick and roll handler, the rest of the roster has a chance to gel with little other reshuffling. All the better.
If the guard they find can fit on a career timeline similar to Flagg’s, that’s the dream.
