If they do double, he will pass to the open man for an open shot. Tough to argue with that (even though I am not crazy with that style of play) as we typically have very good offenses due to Luka. I just think the talent has increased where we don't need to treat everyone like DFS. IE...you get the ball when you are wide open. With Klay and a few others, they need to get more touches to find some rythem.
The thing I have never liked is the early possession, no pass three pointers to begin games. Now, it is easy to forget when he was shooting near 40% last year. I am just not a big fan of that type of play when the game is starting. I have no idea what the Math says though if these are good shots.
I think the data that spawned “seven seconds or less” found that those early shots are actually higher percentage.
