MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[DanSchwartzgan]

I see a lots of mentions of Exum's D. Are we sleeping on his O? 

The offense goes through Timmy when Luka sits (and Kyrie is hurt) and I think, "man, I'd have the ball in Exum's hands and leave Timmy in his highly productive off the ball role." 

It makes wonder whether, 1) Timmy needs to have his role leveled up when the bench crew is in so that he stays happy, or 2) Coach doesn't see the part time PG in Exum that I see, or 3) Coach Fif should stick to U10 soccer. 

My "should have the ball (to run the offense)" rankings look like this:

1) Luka
2) Kyrie
3) Exum
4) ???

Too bad Hardy isn't an obvious add to this list. 

Am I off on all this?

I had a really successful U-10 soccer team once upon a time.  Now that kid is 29.

Funny thing is Exum brings the ball up a lot when Luka is in the game.  But, I think it is mainly to relieve pressure and Luka still ends up being the initiator most of the time.  I think Exum is best in a secondary role taking advantage of things Luka and Kyrie create (versus trying to create on his own).  But, that doesn't mean I want THJ trying to create.  I tend to agree that I'd rather have Exum creating a look for THJ (and others) than have Timmy create solely for himself (and no others).
