No.

And when you can run a men Thompson at the point who's averaging 20 points, eight boards, five assists per game on like 62, 63% true shooting since the start of December, that's a 20 game sample.

That type of length and athleticism across the board makes it so much easier to

You know, if you're a little light or undersized at other spots, you can overcome it when you have a guy as your point guard.

I know that will rub people the wrong way, but he does at least start there.

It just gives you so much flexibility when it comes to filling out the rest of your rotation.

That's what you want to see from your younger players.

You know, with the team losing at the rate it has this month, there's been a lot of big picture referendums.

Well, here's a clear success story.
