Really like Point Paolo. It’s actually genius how they’re using him if you think about it. He’s getting triple teamed and while the defense is locked in on him, that leaves Franz Curry wide open. Our team being a threat from deep changes things immensely. Teams will eventually have to take us seriously from out there and then guess who’s left open to easily score … LePaolo.
Best case scenario: They’re going to have to pick their poison each and every night with us.
Not unlikely, but in a different way compared to last season. He seems to have taken over some point forward duty from Franz.
You can see it when Kelle brings up the ball, last season Franz was always the first to touch the ball then, last game it was usually Paolo.
So I guess the bigger picture is to get him more involved at this stage and Franz more getting open for a 3 or cuts.
Edit: overall I expect more assists from Paolo and an increase in points from Franz compared to last year.

Yup, it’s a bit like the Joker-Game-Plan, only from the PF position. Hope the development in this direction continues and is successful.
totes.
So, my take-away from a strategy like that is simply this: Success depends on guys like Suggs making those open Js.
