Manu is a better passer than Mario and a strong enough ball handler to handle pressure in the backcourt, does it help if I just label him my 1?
I think Manu would be much more effective on offense coming off a screen or catching the ball with a live dribble still an option. He wouldn't be able to do that if he's running the 1. I think Manu could run the 1, but I just don't think your maximizing his abilities by having him do so.
I would have Iggy run the point ahead of Manu. Free Manu up to be more aggressive as a scorer. Iggy is deferential anyway so it doesn't make much difference to his scoring instincts.
The plan is to have Iguodala initiate much of the offense. I was more discussing smoke and mirrors roster formatting. But great points both about Manu's aggressiveness and his style of play. One of the reasons I chose Jerry Sloan was that he runs a variation of the flex offense passed down from Chicago Bulls coach Dick Motta - it's motion and screen heavy and can be run through a forward.
The simplest way to define the qualities of a good flex player is the ability to multitask. In the flex, each player on the floor is a screener and a screenee, a passer and a cutter, a guy who can make plays in a variety of ways by instantaneously reading the defense.
I think both Andre and Manu are good fits. And while I'll need a big man better at setting a hard pick than Channing Frye, he'll be absolutely deadly coming off pin-downs for open jump shots.
