ANY team led by Reef offensively, defensive in nature or not, isn't going to be very good.
I completely disagree, and I guess there is no way to argue because, unfortunately for Reef, he's never been in that situation. So, all we can argue is opinion.
Pretty, technically superior, but passionless and often empty.
Same can be said of Tim Duncan.
Neither makes their teammates any better.
Very few players make their teammates better. Even fewer aren't at the PG position. Tim Duncan, Jason Kidd ... is that the end of the list?
Neither can lead a team anywhere.
Again, that's purely speculation and opinion.
You can say Reef's never led a team anywhere, and that'd be a fact. But, unless those teams had Shaq, they weren't going anywhere. Duncan instead of Reef in Vancouver gets maybe 10 more wins. MAYBE. Same in Atlanta. They just weren't talented teams and they had no system in place.
I can't say for certain Reef could lead a team deep in the playoffs. But, I've always said that players thrive in the right system and when they have the right supporting cast. If you change it up, you can't always guarantee success.
