when... exactly.

Sure, he wouldve helped with giving a few breathers. He was serviceable, but even before MD, he wasn't a game-changer. The only way he could've helped is w/ JB running a 3 guard lineup (which I doubt JB would've used much)... whereby you keep GT on the wing and kick to him if a guard drives the lane, for a 3-pter (an unlikely scenario since TB rarely passes on a drive). [B]The main part of the problem is that JB doesn't run any offensive sets.[/B].. lots of standing around out there. All the (double) high picks were effectively useless -- boggles my mind, why bother to pick if the bigs are clueless what to do after it... AND Battle/Howard merely stay up top to force a 3, or contested runner/jumper in the lane, after milking the shot clock. Therefore, IMO, GT would be another 1-on-1 player forced to primarily create on his own. Having a 3rd ISO 1-on-1 player doesn't make the team better. For the defense, it's a matter of "which guard will go 1-on-1 this time?"
