Anderson and Gordon overlap a lot on the 3 pointers since they both shoot most of their 3s from the wing. But that's ok since there are 2 wings. I would imagine if you have a 3 guard lineup with Tyreke running the offense you'd put Ryno in the corner. Not as good as on the wings, but he'll still be respectable and that leaves Gordon and Holiday in position to reset the offense if needed.

Salmons should fit nicely into that corner 3 space previously occupied by Aminu. His fit seems to be really good and I think people are going to be surprised that Salmons isn't terrible.

Definitely. Houston's chart is crazy in just how much dead space/balance there is. I think I would put Holiday in the corner. Anderson one wing (get his bigger defender out in space, farther away from the rim), Gordon the other, Davis coming for a PnR and crash. Or Anderson setting the screen, w/ Davis lurking short corner/baseline. Can use Davis or Anderson as Dirk like figures in PnR opening up the paint for all of the athletic guards to attack w/ or w/o the ball. They have that gravitational pull that Lowe and other talk about.

Yep. Shoot, defend reasonably for 20 mpg isn't a huge assignment. He and Miller should be able to fill that space. It's crazy seeing how much Smiht action there was. He hit those shots at a good rate, but man, that's not what you want to see on offense.
