Why hasn't any player stepped up and become the "go to" player on this team? 

Why is CBS not picking one or two young players and making them the go to guy to try and score 20+ per night and be the player with ball in his hands when they need a bucket.

Why hasn't Sullinger become that player?
Bradley?
Olynyk (ok injured)?
Smart?

Antione was a decent to very good player at times, not a hall of famer by any means, yet on bad team he managed to put up 18-22 ppg.  PP developed under similar circumstances.

Part of the youth movement is to develop these players.  Let the young ones play.   Let one of them become that proverbial best player on a bad team, so that he has some trade value. 

Sadly, I conclude we do not have a player like that on the roster.  This is going to be a loooooong rebuild.

We have no talent.  But at least we have picks.

This is a really simplistic view of our team. We don't have any traditional iso scorers, which I thinkn is what you mean by 'go-to' guy, and it won't help anyone's development to force them into a mold that isn't them. That said, we don't need a guy like that, and they might even be a poor fit with CBS's motion system.

As to "we have no talent", please. Have you seen Marcus Smart play?
