What I think we all forget in analyzing individuals and their capabilities is the effect that other individuals have on them. What if we had guards who could all consistently drive, dish and shoot, thus requiring double-teams from the defense? We’d have many more opportunities for the bigs like Nance to get more open looks or easy buckets in rhythm. The entire team makeup matters as to how the individuals perform. Sometimes one missing piece makes all the difference in a team’s performance. It’s not a one-way argument; there are dependencies.
We often think of that as just something we lack, but there’s probably more teams that lack those guards than those who have them.
