Role players usually have to adjust to the stars around them, rarely the other way around. In the case of 2017 Dario Saric, his starry talents took a proverbial backseat to Ben Simmons and his bouldering creation volume.
Now, more unforeseen happenings are looming which forces Saric to adjust his game to another level, inviting a bevy of obstacles that leave to question whether Saric would be better off performing solo. Simmons is (evidently) attempting to add a mid range shot and improving in post-ups, and putting a focus on cutting more to diversify his own scoring portfolio.
