Sabonis bringing the ball up the floor is by far the most efficient offense, the amount of open threes and layups doesn't even come close to comparing to turnovers he has while doing so.This game alone Kings had 4-5 open threes because of that. It's not going anywhere and it shouldn't
What you're writing doesn't make sense., Efficient offense doesn't come from bringing the ball up the floor, it comes from movement off the ball. unless you have extroardinary ball handling skills which Sabonis does not. Sabonis is not a ball handler for transition, nor should he be most especially bringing the ball up the floor - do you see how high he dribbles? - that's like a big target on his uniform for all defenders, blood in the water - he is 10th in the NBA in turnovers 10th! that's the top 3% of all players in the NBA for turnovers .....the Kings don't need Sabonis bringing the ball up to initiate high-low hand-offs, screens, or open 3.s They can simply have him meet at top of the key after Fox or Mitchell have transitted the ball to opposing key. It doesn't facilitate anything but higher turnover potential. It's like gifting the defense a cheat card each set for a bonus 5% turnover risk increase at little to no cost.. Every time Sabonis handles the ball full court is cringeworthy.
