Do you think Bane could be a better number 1 option on offense than Paolo and Franz?
When the team is fully healthy, Paolo is regarded as the team's number 1 option. When Paolo is out people automatically default to Franz.
However, Bane may be the best number one option on the team. He can shoot. He can get to the basket and finish. He is an efficient and smart player. He can pass and create. He is a more well rounded player than Paolo or Franz which makes the offense more multidimensional when it is run through him. For certain Bane is not just a stand and shoot guy. He has proven he can move with the ball.
Bane was never given the chance to be the number 1 in Memphis. They defaulted to Ja (lol) and then let Jaren Jackson be the focal point when Ja was out.
What if it turns out Bane is a star who can average 28 ppg/8 reb/8 ast with efficient shooting and low turnovers when he is the number 1 option? What if the team is better when Bane is the focal point?
