Need I remind you, you just posted this -
You specifically said he would be the 2nd best on the team/offense and you insinuated that Draymond would possibly be too, due to him getting more assists. You can't marginalize importance or impact through what box score #s players put up in a motion-based offense - especially one who controls the offense and warps defenses like Curry does.
Yeah you're absolutely clueless. This is why you should watch games instead of drawing conclusions from cherry-picked stats.
Oh you're one of
those people.
Just bout everything you stated indicates you don't understand how their offense works.
Well you'd be wrong and then some.
You need to step ur reading comprehension wayyyyy up. Saying someone is better doesn't mean they're more important. It was a commonly held belief that Bosh was the most important person on the Heat, but he wasn't better than Bron or Wade. He provided a skill set they needed which neither of those players provided. Same way Draymond provides skills that Curry and Klay don't and never could, and the addition of KD would quite possibly make Draymond the 2nd most important person on that team behind KD. And me implying Draymond possibly being better than him was about KD minimizing Curry into a spot up shooter (that's what my next sentence was about), not just about Draymond getting more assists.
Also Draymond potentially being more important wouldn't just be due to more assists, but his hustle points/stats, rebounds, leadership, etc. Same thing that gave him a claim to being more important even this season. With KD on board, Steph would now only be the best 3pt/foul shooter and best stealer on the team. Best all around scorer-KD, best passer-Draymond (though with KD on board Steph could fully claim that), none of the other categories are even worth addressing cause Steph has no claim to them.
Initiating the offense doesn't mean who took the ball up, it's about who is the catalyst for the play being called. Draymond having more assists, plus his style of play insinuates they initiated the offense through him the most. When Steph has it he's more likely to shoot than to work to find a shot for a teammate, and when he doesn't have the ball he's working to get an open shot. When Draymond has it he's working to start a play that will help Steph or Klay find their best shot. The addition of KD could lead to Steph playing a more traditional PG role, I said that in a past post, but if it didn't Draymond would still be the catalyst of most of the plays run on offense.
You haven't made even 1 legitimate point. The Warriors' offense isn't some abstract concept that's difficult to understand, it's based around running, ball movement, getting in an extra pass or two to make sure they get the best shot--all of that would favor KD over Curry cause aside from Curry being a better 3pt shooter, KD has him in every other aspect of the game. Curry would become a spot up shooter at that point, probably still get 20-25 ppg though. You're telling me I don't understand their offense but I broken down much of what they do offensively, and you haven't said anything at all about their offense, except act like by criticising what I'm saying it means u understand their offense more.
How would u respond to Steph being the 2nd possibly 3rd best player on the team? Since u clearly took issue with that statement, but haven't provided any substance whatsoever. KD would be better and more important to the Warriors than Steph. Draymond would be more important, and quite possibly a better all around player, with KD overshadowing so much of what Steph does well. Dray would lead in rebounds, most likely assists, KD would lead in PTS, Steph would have steals. He'd be the new Ray Allen.
Whether I not I understood the Warriors offense, which I do, is irrelevant to what I said. And once again I do understand their offense, but you've yet to provide anything useful in this discussion, besides trying to discredit what I've said and you've only done that by claiming I don't understand their offense. Which I've described how they play and u haven't said anything about their style of play. Please enlighten me.
