Finney-Smith at the SF, Improvement in Rebounding

[cow]

Definitely a huge part of the equation. He speeds up his release every year, too (why I think he’s traditionally a slow starter). 

But me, personally, I prefer to win as many foot speed/athleticism matchups on the floor as possible. If you can triple down by winning skill matchups, you’re in great shape in my mind. Rebounding is a distant 4th consideration, for me. It’s just how I see things.

I do think putting the ball on the floor is the next, and maybe last, evolution for him.  He's never going to be an elite ball handler but with the proper confidence, he should be able to drive to the cup much more than he does traditionally.  I also don't think he'll ever be an elite finisher but he looks so damn smooth some times that I think he can be "good enough".
