I envision his vision to be last year's team...


With minor mods.
1st... Great leaders (that's so much more evident now) who can score when it's needed, or bear that responsibility and execute a high % of the time. Had that last year no outwardly recognizable leader this year.
2nd... Drivers who can dish AND score at the rim. Seth Allen last year. JRob can drive but he cannot score consistently at the rim against most post players (height or athletism), which often results in a turnover. DWil is the same, except he knows it. Clarke tends to not pass the ball on drives, but can score adequately when driving into traffic. This also plays into the transition/tempo aspect of his O.
3rd... Multiple excellent 3pt shooters. We had and have that.
4th... I think on D he wants to play aggressive man to man. For that, and the O he wants to run, he wants/needs tough/lengthy/athletic guys - not necessarily bigs guys. Imagine 3 Clarke-ish players on the floor, between 6'6" and 6'9" that can harass the other guys, be big enough not to be beat everytime down low, and can run. Never had this, and don't see it in the pipeline yet.
