JG's issues are threefold. First, he is limited by his physical attributes - size, strength, and speed. His skill set is not the issue IMO, with the exception of his handle when pressured. The second is that he has been the focus of the defense, at least in the early part of the season. That focus will be shifting to Jesse and Judah. It's already happening. Third, it's not so much about the defender Joe is drawing. It is also that his defender is not providing normal help rotations (by design), which makes it even more difficult for him to get open looks. Because he simply can not finish off the bounce, it's been easy for the defense to take him out.

Which means that Judah and Jesse hold the keys to making this offense "work." Forcing Joe to be the focal part of the offense is not going to work.

Judah has to learn to play under control and to make much better decisions off of dribble penetration. Very few defenders, so far anyway, have been able to stay in front of him. The problem is his decision making as the help is rotating to stop him. Right now, he seems stuck between trying to decide when he should try to be a primary scorer off the bounce or when to facilitate for others. This is the art of playing PG. He has the skill set. The next huge step is the learning curve that will hopefully come with more experience and coaching.
