Well, Brad will limit his iso possessions and mid-rangers. Morris will also be getting much better looks than he did in Detroit. We have three facilitators (IT, Gordon, Al) who are better at creating looks for others than anyone on the Pistons. We have an offense with more of an emphasis on movement and spacing. Additionally, Morris will play more as a big, meaning that he'll be guarded more often by guys who are not comfortable on the perimeter. Therefore, I expect Marcus to experience a pretty decent uptick in efficiency.

Yeah, the spacing provided by the starters will greatly help him out, which he didn't really get in Detroit. He should get several open corner threes every game just by standing in the corner and waiting for IT penetration and kick.

But I think both Horford and IT will also benefit from having yet another floor-spreading big on the court. IT will have so much space for penetration that it's not even funny, and Horford should receive plenty of open looks off of penetration and PnR/PnP plays, too.

This whole discussion has me thinking about the IT-Hayward pairing. How the heck do you defend against two guys with those scoring and facilitating abilities? The only option is going to be allowing wide open corner threes to really capable shooters (Morris, Crowder, etc.).

That'll be Marcus Smart who'll do that.
