Balance out the roster and take away Turner who makes both the offense and defense worse when in the lineup. Basically addition by subtraction. It also opens up the door for Baldwin to get minutes as the backup facilitator of the offense.
Baldwin will take Bazz's minutes...he'll be on the court whenever Dame or CJ sit....won't affect Turner at all...the good thing is Turner can play defense and be surrounded with shooters for a change
Nope, both Olshey and Stotts have mentioned that Turner is going to take the distributor role in the 2nd unit.
Turner will have his same role....just like with Bazz last season...they don't play the same position. Turner is a vocal floor general like Chief....I think they refer to Turner as a floor general for the second unit and Baldwin can play off the ball very well...distribution by commitee
Nope, sorry Riverman but that's not what they both said and I'll take what they actually said over your interpretation.
Is Baldwin a good enough shooter to be one of the guys that surrounds ET? If the goal is the 2nd team is ET and a bunch of shooters I’m not sure Baldwin fits that role. I like Baldwin’s game a lot by the way.
I actually see Baldwin playing with either Dame or CJ when one rests...CJ will probably play more with Turner and the second unit. CJ plays with Turner...you want Turner distributing the ball....Baldwin plays with the starters...you'll see him playing pt guard with either Dame of CJ off the ball
I could see that. The thing about 2nd units is that most teams rarely have all their starters on the bench. Also if the goal is to get more playoff success then you need the best 8ish guys you can get because the rotation tightens up a lot.
