Let him initiate tha offense while attempting 7-8 3PA per game. Gotta take advantage of that efficiency and long distance shooting.

Dbane would be better

u/MrCharlie_84 6d ago

Make em 1A and 1B. Franz and Bane on pick and rolls/pops/screens wouldn't be fair.

Was he not a top-5 shooting guard last year? Anthony Edwards, Donovan Mitchell... who else was better than him?

u/Loyalty_Code 5d ago

He's consistently ranked outside the top 5 shooting guards, but he's typically underrated though. He is more difficult to rank than most other guards when looking at the overall player, though I'd definitely have him top 5 if the focus is shooting.

He was a Top 5 this year

u/PaulWilliams12 4d ago

He's been top 5 for 5 years. From 2021-2023 he was top 2.
