Definitely agree with the optimism re: Bibby. I was hoping for him to start last game. I think to connect this with the Douglas article, the two could play together with Toney at the 2, JR at the 3, Melo at the 4, TC at 5. That lineup at least has the potential to offer great floor spacing. It also has 4 solid ball handlers who can attack Miami’s ball pressure.

JR or Melo bring the ball up He put himself in position to shot 3pt only. He not really run any PNR which Miami sometime trap hard. He doesn’t penetrate into the paint. Seriously anybody guard playing that way would have very little TO. Keep in mind he has only 7 assists vs 3 TO.

I would say he rebound pretty good by reacting to long bounces off rim. Averaging close to 4 rebs a game. Novak and him have same amount rebounds and both played 83 min each.

His 3pt% 0.385 is 2nd to Novak. Definitely shooting at a good %.

Like you point out how much of the low TOs is due to someone else bringing the ball up (JR or Melo by my recall) is open to debate.
