He is more agressive when he feels he doesnt need to run the offense, when he is "off" ball he has one thing on his mind and that is scoring..
This, so much. I would honestly love to see Frankie starting at the 2, move RJ to the 3 with Payton (for the time being) at the 1. You can say what you want about Payton, but he plays solid D, gets to the line, is great getting points at the basket. Ive also noticed that RJ is really not very good at chasing down SGs. This line-up gives you 4 players that have at least above avg handle (including Randle), 4 players that can play pretty good defense (including Noel...I classify Randle and Barrett as half a defender each, lol).
You have a second unit of Rose, Quick, Burks, Taj/Knox (Randle with have to overlap and /or play the 5 until Mitch or Taj get back). Bullock can pretty much get lost, but if we are down big or if Burks/RJ are having an off night, he's another shooter of the bench.
