Jrue is a good player. He can shoot a bit. He can dribble a bit. He is one of only a handful of point guards who have a real impact on the defensive end per ESPN’s DRPM. I like Jrue fine. You probably like Jrue fine.
The problem is his potential price tag and the one glaring hole in Jrue’s game: He’s not good in the pick and roll.
The league is a Pick and Roll league, and Alvin Gentry’s system is generally a long string of different pick and rolls and pseudo pick and rolls set up in different places on the floor.
