The other thing is this offense.
For years the complaint on RR was that there was way too much iso in the offense. Now you look at the shot distribution in yesterday's game for example and it's spread out about as evenly among the starters as you're going to see in an NBA game. So you now have lesser skilled players learning to score whether that is in the form of shooting, cutting, drives, posting up etc.
I'm not sure if this is a novel idea that is destined to fail or a genius move from Nick. Overall skill level will improve when Siakam gets back, but is that enough? You can see the Raps struggle when the opposing team get back quickly and force them to play half court ball.
