Since coming here (and during the vast majority of his successful time on other teams), he's basically an iso scorer with a fairly deadly off-ball, movement shooter skillset to complement the other offensive weapons. In other words, I think this team pretty desperately needs a STARTING PG, not just a stop gap. Like everyone else, I'm having trouble identifying that player at the moment, but I'm hoping for a pretty big splash this summer if I'm being honest.
I agree that Kyrie is best as a scorer than a true table setter. I am not sure Nico or Kidd really want a true point guard. I look how Duke played without a point and even how OKC plays without a true point guard and wonder that is how Nico/Kidd want to play. Mostly bigger guys with three guys who can all create off the dribble. Now Dallas needs to do some work to upgrade their creation, but I wonder if that is there vision. Size, length, physical (outside of Kyrie) in the backcourt and wing. We will see. The issue though is OKC can just destroy a team with their defense if you don't have someone to run an offense.
