I think what’s going to happen with this team is, if everyone is playing, they will have to have bit part contributions as they just won’t get the same volume of shots as they would with players out. E.g. Haywards role tonight was much more similar to his role in Utah, he took 18 shot attempts tonight he’s not taking that many if kyrie is there and Morris was playing in 2nd half. Tatum only took 9 shot attempts for 8 points. We have to be realistic that there’s too many players for everyone to score big all the time. More important for me than Gordon’s overall point total was his efficiency he was 14-18 vs 0-6 against the Spurs. And defensively he was a lot better for the most part.
His next challenge is to string multiple decent games together and find a way to impact the game when he doesn’t have the opportunity to take 18 shots.
