Agreed. Manu's influence on the 2nd is critical. He is the playmaker that most on this team are not. Besides Manu who on this team really is a playmaker?
TP? I think not. Shoot first and pass second. Would anyone in Spursland consider him on the same level as a Kidd/Nash? Even a notch below? And that is in the context as to being a passing PG looking to assist others rather than looking for one's own shot first.
GHIll? Too early to tell but as of now he is more a shoot first PG.
Mason? He is better suited for SG though as of late he is handling the ball better. But overall I think not.
We need a 2nd unit that comes in and contributes but if Manu is a starter I think that wont happen. If the Spurs were to replace RJ with Manu then RJ could feast on 2nd unit players but we still have no playmaker on the 2nd unit. RJ works best without the ball by slashing and running the open floor to get open and the Spurs would essentially waste his talents by making him a playmaker. IMHO
