    Notice how much emphasis Coach Nick puts on Paul's shooting on PnRs vs Bev.

    Imagine if that were a comparison to Rubio.

    And them further fawning over Paul being able to engineer ISO scoring while Harden watches in the corner. Imagine if he were comparing Paul to Rubio's non-existent ability to ISO. Or how the Spain PnR doesn't really work if the PG can't shoot. Or the value of another off-ball scorer/shooter Paul has become.

    I could go on ....

    Suffice it to say, everything Coach says in that video is also pointing out why Rubio would suck in this offense.

    Coach Nick is a coach, not a writer ;)

    Coach Nick "Beverley was not a three point threat"

    As much as this sounds preposterous based on his percentages, Coach Nick is right in that Bev was only a good spot-up shooter. He wasn't very good in pnr & off-the-dribble situations, and CP3's ability to create his own shot is heads and shoulders above Beverley, which adds a whole another dimension to our offense.

    This is why I always lmao at people who only look at percentages to determine which player is a better shooter without considering 1. the degree of the difficulty of shots 2. ability to get the shot off off-the-dribble. It's the same reason why Curry will always be remembered as a superior shooter than Klay Thompson.

    This guy is way to aggressive with his definition of a travel... Not just saying that cuz he was talking about Harden in this case, I've seen it a few times now. You get two steps after you gather the ball, bruh.

    Of course Paul is better than Beverley. That's why we had to give them another four players.

    when CP3 was traded to the Rockets, people were acting brand new. I don't know how many videos I watched saying the Clippers were better without CP3, or Beverley was a better defender, or CP3 is too old.

    I wasn't an avid watcher of CP3 so I was starting to believe it a little.

    Thompson is elite at moving without the ball, an under appreciated skill and a huge part of the GS offense. He’s not a mere spot up shooter.

    I know someone who disagrees, but these days he's busy claiming Capela isn't very good.

    Thanks Coach Nick but we've met a long time ago before they were a 'nobody'.
