Marcus Smart had 6 assist in his first Grizzlies appearance (24 minutes). that equals Dillon Brooks’ season high last year. I think the offense will flow a lot better without Brooks taking his highly contested fadeaway step back jump shots and 3 pointers.

Here’s the thing Smart isn’t the only play maker on this team. Luke Kennard Desmond Bane Derrick Rose Marcus Smart Santi Aldama and Stephen Adams are all very capable and versatile play makers. I think not relying on just one person to initiate the offense will make the grizzlies a much better team.

The reason I brought up Brooks is because he an offensive negative he literally would kill the Grizzlies ball movement and chuck upshot’s whenever he felt like it. The Grizz will be a much better offensive team just with him not being in the rotation.

Most of those names are considerable reaches as reliable playmakers. I think naming Kennard, Aldama, and Adams as playmakers is making the opposite point you want. And Rose will be 35 and played 12 mpg last season.

Kennard came into the league as a playmaker and if you don’t think Aldama and Adams are playmakers just watch and see.

No, Aldama and Kennard arent definitely playmakers. Adams' playmaking is just about screens and holding the ball on the top, it's a kind of playmaking but he's not a ball handler or similar
