Good article. This is why some liked him so much. He's not just a leaper.

One thing in the article that I want to poke at a bit is this part near the end:

Phoenix ... was in dire straits for another player to help produce more positive ball movement

Now, I certainly agree that Phoenix could use better ball movement. But I'm not convinced that is from lack of ball movers. We saw great ball movement with the second unit and in the second half of the season. It's got to start with the starting PG. If Eric is taking every third possession to just go one on one for his own points, and just as many dumping off to Booker to go one on one, and taking a number of possessions isolating Len to try to create one on one out of the high post, well ...

I just hope we don't use Josh like an ISO player, too.

I agree; I, too, blame Bledsoe for our anemic ball movement in our starting lineup. If he hogs the ball, it sets a tone and forces everybody else to try to "get theirs" and shoot shots on the rare occasions when they get the ball. Put in a sharing PG like Ulis and everything changes noticeably right away.

That full court pass was a thing of beauty. He hits him right in stride.

I would think so.
