He certainly wouldn't have been passive in looking for his own shot.

I thought one of the advantages  of having a 12-star deep team is being able to go away from guys who aren't playing well without any dropoff in talent

This. There?s a ton of guys playing awful out there today, yet we?re leaving a consecutive three-time 1st Team NBA player on the bench for a DNP.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

9pt lead with 8 and a half minutes left. USA in good position.

No need to panic. They still have this.

This team has an athleticism advantage that they don't use, and a talent advantage that they attempt to exploit by playing 1-on-5 instead of 5-on-5.  And it's not all on the guys handling the ball either - most of these guys have no interest in moving without the basketball or making themselves available.

They don't know how.

It has been this way for a couple of tournaments now. Everything in the NBA is built around the primary ball-handler in the PnR. Most of these guys are used to being that ball-handler. They don't know how to function in a different offensive setup or role.
