Does anybody remember Lebron’s first season with the Heat? Everybody was tentative with their roles, including Lebron and Wade. Too much deference to others.
That’s what we’re seeing here. Either Kyrie or Hayward needs to step up as the alpha.
That's what I'm seeing, too. The roles aren't as well defined as they have been the past two seasons.
Jaylen got used to being more than a 3-and-D player in the playoffs and spent the summer trying to get better but now, on this team, his best role is 3-and-D wing which probably feels like a move backward. But Kyrie, Hayward, and Tatum are all better ballhandlers and playmakers so there isn't going to be much opportunity for him to do more than what he did last season.
