That is a lot of his system. Giving players supreme confidence to do anything, stop overthinking and just play.No such thing as a non shooter in that system. Chris Duhon and Patrick Beverly weren't shooters but they didn't hesistate and actually shot a decent percentage. Actually, look at Boris Diaw. He didnt shoot 3's and it worked like a charm.
The Bulls were actually looking to sign D'Antoni the offseason prior to Rose's MVP season. D'Antoni chose the Knicks, and the Bulls signed Thibs.Yeah, but it just goes to show you...any decent NBA player that buys into that system can basically run that offense well.
The funny thing is that Jeremy Lin is not a great ball handler and not the best shooter either. I am actually surprised I am the only one who has dropped Booker in this thread. That shooting ability with Mike D'Antoni?
A healthy Derrick Rose would have been a nightmare for half a season.

he'd make the Rockets true Chip contenders with his rebounding, defense, rim protection and ability to score at the rim and off pnr's.
