It‘d be more efficient looking for shooters in the draft/the G league. We've already got Korver as the “experienced shooter”. What we need right now is some fresh young players that can actually play some solid minutes. Shooting, if any thing, is the most “ready to go” skill in the NBA. Shouldn't be hard to find young players minutes if they can actually shoot.
Him being an upgrade over rubio? I'm not as sure on that as I'm on Sato. Redick doesn't have the size or lateral quickness to keep up with most of the guards in this league. He can handle the ball and make some plays occasionally, but not on a consistent basis. He is more of a threat off ball than he is on ball, which will only add more loads to Ingles and Donovan. Literally the only thing he does better than Rubio is his shooting, while in other areas he is either slightly worse or significantly worse.
but at least he won't be worse than Rubio. especially now that the realization of "Ricky ain't comin back" has been reached.
Still depends on how we do in the playoffs though. if we can make a deep run like we did last year, could be the outcome like you said. It'd be very tough though, as most of our potential opponents have gotten better since last year.
Obviously no one is beating the warriors. Utah though has a good chance against everyone else. I think they're suited against Denver cause Denver don't have really good guards and Rudy can contain the big centre. Best case scenario they play Denver in 2nd round.
