He's pretty OK at it though. He makes a lot of good passing reads off the dribble. The next step in his development is having some kind of scoring threat off the dribble like how Ingles has his hesitation lefty scoops, and ofc being a better C&S player.
I think the bigger problem with Royce is that he’s just not surrounded by a lot of offensive talent. Put him in Ariza’s role last year and he’ll look pretty sufficient offensively.
Ehh, I don't know about that. Ariza is a guy who will take open and even tightly shots (though he has never really been good at either). O'Neale right now is just taking wide open shots.
Thabo is a necessary weapon. Q is playing him in the interest of the team, not for any other reason.
It’s not a comparison with Ariza. In just saying that his offense for his role would be adequate, and it would take a lot of pressure off of him to be relied upon to do, well, anything.
Yeah, I get what you're saying, but what I'm saying is he wouldn't because to be in that role you have to be willing to take a level of difficulty shot that is outside of O'Neale's current comfort zone.
Do you know what defense is?
