Of course he was. Dude was the best face up big in the game. Scored a bunch of his points on-ball (pulling up, scoring off the dribble, drawing fouls).

so is Goran Dragic or Eric Bledsoe the #1 option in PHX?
Jeff Green or Avery Bradley?
Josh Smith, Greg Monroe Or Brandon Jennings?
Al Horford, Jeff Teague, Paul Millsap?
Arron Afflalo, Brandon Knight, Thaddeus Young and Gordon Hayward are all #1 options?

Sorry but there's this guy Dirk Nowitzki who was the best face up big until 2 years ago for a whole decade. He altered the perception of power forwards and how to utilize them nowadays and a lot of young bigs design their game after him. Quit pimping Chris Bosh. He was a poor #1 in Toronto. That's like saying Vince Carter, not Kobe was the best scoring guard for a long time.
For their respective teams they are. Yes!
For a championship contender, they wouldn't.

and thats all? so his best case scenario is the guard version of Jeremy Evans in your opinion?

Just use common sense dude. Every team has a number one option
If you've just jinx'ed it, I'm blaming you.

so then using common sense... Jeff Green is a #1 option
Im pretty sure thats not what Dalamon was talking about when he first asked the question, BUT if being on a bad team, taking volume shots and leading your team in scoring qualifies you as a #1 option, then i think theres hope to find that player in the middle of the lottery
Using common sense, Ryan Anderson was close to a #1 option last year for the Hornets (legit #1 after the Eric Gordon injury) Doug McDermott has the type of skillset that in the right situation (maybe Detroit or Philly) could produce similarly
Everything requires a bit of luck, most winners will tell you this (ask Lebron re last year's Finals).
I think being a number one option means being used as the source of offense more than the other people on the team.
Just ask if players are good or not.

It's ok if he jinxed us to get the number two pick. We can live with parker

so not only a leading scorer, but the guy who players on the team want with the ball when the clock is running out. fair enough, Bradley Beal qualifies as a #1 guy then.
on the Beal/LaVine comparison i offer this stat;
of 144 Qualified players Bradley Beal was 139th in 2pt shooting % (.426), only infront of Harrison Barnes, Kemba Walker, Trey Burke, Brandon Jennings and Ricky Rubio
obviously Beal is a bit heavier, a better rebounder and is more polished, but for all the concern about Zach finishing at the rim, there's guys considered 'Cant Miss' prospects with similar inefficiencies

This was the answer to one of those new common core questions.

Not sure how you get either one of those out of my explanation.
I'm just looking at it from a literal point of view to mess with you. I'm saying the guy who is the number one option is the guy who is used the most often as the source of offense for his team.
Clearly, this move was not worth it seeing as how I have to explain it so thoroughly.

I just dont think '#1 option' applies to every team and roster, im not sure i consider guys #1 options out of necessity, its more of a merit based thing, and should have alot to do with consistency.
for instance, Luol Deng played 23 games for the Bulls and D. Rose 10, was Carlos Boozer the #1 option for the bulls this year??? (12.3FGA's in under 29mins)
how can that be when he was on the bench for most of the 4th quarters in favor of Gibson.
