Tim Legler

If it's a two-man game he's running, he's thinking about the next defender that's going to get into the paint or whatever they're going to do based on the action they're going to run, and he's thinking about making a play for that guy on his team.

Scorers that can make plays, it's a totally different thing.

Their playmaking comes after their own scoring has been exhausted.

Those options have been exhausted, and now as an afterthought, okay, there's a play to be made.

And look, some of those guys do it at a really high level.

They can give you those 35.8 assist nights.

But the assists come after they have hunted for themselves.

And now something organically happens for a guy.

That's different than thinking the game the way that I described.

When you're already manipulating the pieces defensively with your eyes.

And you're understanding what the next thing's going to be.

And that's the chain of events is going to dictate where I throw the ball.

That's a totally different level of thinking of facilitating and like running a team that most scorers at a high level at the NBA level, aren't going to really do it at the level of the guys I'm talking about that have played that position their entire life.

He definitely is somebody that I paid attention to the acquisition, and I've always been a huge fan of his.

Really, really cheered for him, making his way all the way back from what he went through.

Most guys wouldn't have had the will to do it, so I pull for guys like that because he loves it.

And now you see the acquisition and they lost Ty Jerome.

We had a very good year for them and they bring Alonzo ball.

And I'm kind of like, okay, that's interesting.

Let's see how that looks.
