AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

There were actually a lot of rumblings last year that the team didn't like most of the early-clock shot selection from FVV. Like, a lot. I don't have links or anything, but I remember hearing/reading that frequently before the all star break. 

My read on this is that Ujiri is for sure throwing shade at FVV, his point being "let's see what happens when we actually run our offense." 

Could be wrong though.

FVV is also not a natural PG, he is much more of an SG, imho. Which naturally leads to not great offense. Toronto is dreaming about Barnes being a PG. I basically didn't watch Toronto, but the little I have, I have a hard time seeing it. The rumors I saw were that the young guys (Barnes, OG) wanted more shots. This doesn't mean Siakam was necessarily taking bad shots, but there were just too many mouths to feed. And without the real PG, I can imagine there was no one really able to create good looks for others.
