Everyone is going to point to that game for their argument, but there have been several other games where they've fallen apart just as bad if not worse with the vets playing. The starting lineup has pissed away several games in a matter of minutes already. We can talk about the hypothetical of what would happen if we switched to the other offenses, but we've seen opponent runs, scoring droughts, and big deficits multiple times already thanks to the starters.
This is the first time I've seen this argument. Simplifying it to a Nellie offense is a weird point; the offense as is is more one-note than what I was suggesting, which was a mix. I'm not arguing for a one-noate offense, all NBA offenses have facets of everything or close to everything (Hello, Houston!), but every one has its emphases.
This is the first time I've heard this argument. I have a hard time believing that this mismatched style of offense will help them grow as players and learn the game. Now, I can't tell this for certain, but I'd wager a bet that in 2015-16, everyone would've soured on Karl's offense by now. I certainly have a hard time believing that someone argued it would help people's development. But let's take a guy from that year's team. Ben McLemore, one of our draft disappointments. His second year is by far his best professional season, in Malone's structured system. Come Year 3, enter Karl. He goes into the free-flowing Karl system that his low BBIQ can't handle; he flounders, everyone sours on him, and it doesn't help his career in the slightest.
