I've never said where AD and Blake are going to be playing on the perimeter at the same time. Both are completely capable of spacing the floor and hitting jumpers. They're not going to be running off screens shooting 3's, but they can play pick and pop very effectively. Blake is very good with the elbow jumper. AD is developing a 3 point game. He was 35/108 (34%) this year. Nothing spectacular, but unlike MKG's torrid 3 for 7 start it shows statistically significant improvement.
Having a young roster is nice because it allows you to play fairy tale. MKG will be the next Ray Allen. Dragan Bender an elite stretch 4. Tyler Ulis perennial 6th Man of the Year. Steven Adams the next Kevin McHale. It's fun to think about what the players will become, but it can often lead to overly optimistic predictions, which I feel Aike is falling victim to. A lot of guys in the NBA have breakout seasons and people think they'll be the next (insert Hall of Famer with somewhat similar skill set). It doesn't happen a lot of times. Guys don't always pan out the way you hoped. Ricky Rubio was supposed to be the next big thing and he hasn't amounted to that. He's a fine pro, but he wasn't drafted in this league I don't believe. He wasn't the next big thing like people thought. Lance Stephenson is another example.
I'd rather have known knowns rather than known unknowns meaning I'd rather know what I'm getting vs. knowing that I don't know what I'm getting. Now, we're talking next 5 years so there's a lot of unknown, I grant you that. However, guys like Lillard, Bradley, Melo, Griffin and AD have all carved out a career for themselves, and largely successful ones. The thing with Aike's prospects is there's no guarantee that any one of them will have the careers of my players. I'm not referring to Wall and Klay, they're great already. We know that we don't know how they'll project so we place romanticized expectations of them being great and greatly improving their skills when in reality it doesn't happen that much.
