All of the sudden we have a very deep backcourt.
I was at first worried this might lead to a KDA or Kolton exit. However, Kolton commented “yessirrr” and KDA commented “Go Time!!”. Nice to know we have team players. What an awesome development, but please let’s not start three 6’1 guys again.
Hopefully all the international guys are in tow as well. We’re just missing Siebe and Marin on campus from what it sounds like.
KDA and Jack are arguably the best 1-2 in the league. Granted, they've never played a single second together, but on paper you have two of the best G5 PG's from last season now on the same team. An incredible stroke of luck we have found ourselves after a real poop show of a year.
Kolton first off the bench. He actually probably won't be, but could likely play 6th man minutes. Which is huge now that Jack doesn't have to play 35 minutes a game (hopefully). And Jack can now re-assume true PG1 status, with KDA shifting to the natural 2 and really running the offense with the plethora of big wings and a solid 4/5 with Dusan and Simmons. Kuany, Siebe, Che, etc etc, etc run around and get buckets. Safety net in front of and behind you. Solid.
Ultimately, I don't think the rest of the guys are affected *that much*, and this is clearly better situation for all to have a veteran like Jack run the offense for a team that is mostly thrown together the last few weeks and to have that reliance and assurance he can and has run this team at a high level - the biggest hurdle remains allocation of minutes, Boals putting it together and allowing an 8-10 man rotation to develop.
I was bullish on this euro all-star team before, putting Jack back in the lead role... this is a Top 3 team. I'd love an outsiders view, because on paper... call me crazy... I think they get some #1 votes.
