I think there would be less iso ball with more talent on the team.  That was a problem no one wants to mention about last year, not trusting team mates

If one of the only criticisms of our young All-NBA calibre wing is that he dribbles too much I think we're in a good spot

Not when that tendency absolutely kills the rest of the offense and overall team energy. Why can't Tatum just be part of the overall offense and ball movement. Does he have to dribble the air out of the ball to score ? Let him catch the ball within the offense and if he does not have an opening, let him keep the ball moving. I understand he has these huge scoring games, but in the long run, his ball dominance is a negative when our goal is a championship instead of ESPN highlights.
You're talking as if he was doing this every time down the floor. Despite often having nobody to pass to due to injury at the end of the season he was still generating open looks for his teammates due to how defenders are drawn to him

there are always people to pass to, he should trust his team mates.
Why? They would often just pass it back to him with less time on the shot-clock to create something, or miss the shot

If he would just pass it before he got in trouble, perhaps he would get it back earlier with his defender at more of a disadvantage.
