I love JB but at this point, he's too invested in playing his best guys at the cost of losing true positions. The 3,4, on offense the 4 on defense, half of the 5, and half of the 1 on D are all screwed up atm and it kills explosiveness and makes it less fun to watch as well. Guerrier would be first/second team acc as a true SF. Last year it was the strong half of the 4, half the 5, and all of the one with no posting up scorer. He's right playing too passively does, but I don't buy it as a recurring theme over 15 games. It's something you fix after one loss, 3-4 times a year.

Dole belongs at the four for 20-25 minutes next to ajax and Edwards. Griffin and Girard should not be on the floor together for more than 7-10 minutes, and Griffin and Guerrier shouldn't be together for more than 10 in games where we are going to fight from behind. We got 3 guard coaches on the bench with no big coach. It's about winning, not babysitting. And there is nothing wrong with pressing when we are ahead to spell those moments where our 6'10 PF isn't at the 4. Maybe we go on a 10-0 run doing so, and we are deep this year. I give him a slight pass because Edwards and Ajax are still coming on, but our backline has got to find a way to get some passing hesitation to slow down the high low when they are in.
