Exactly.
AD don't have to be the focal point of the offense. But you can't have him shooting 2 times in the 4th at the same time lol.
It's key for AR and DLo to have enough situational awareness in the 4th to play the game the way a Rajon Rondo or a Derek Fisher wouldve played the game if they had AD on the floor with em.
AD is not a playmaker. He needs the ball in spots where he can go up and score with minimal dribbling. He needs to be able to catch and shoot or receive lobs or dump off passes in the lame so he can use his length to just go up and shoot over most people.
He not Kareem. He not even James Worhy cause Big Game had that lightning first step off the dribble whether in the post or facing you up one on one. AD don't got that cause going one on one is not his game
I disagree on that you don't average 25+ ppg several times if you can't score one on one, but to your point he is an ELITE ply finisher & is much more effective as one. To many times they start him on the perimeter & expect him to make plays, that should be a secondary option, not the first.
They get him on the move where's he's able to use a spin, or a lil hesi dribble etc etc to gain an advantage
