re: Which player not named AD will benefit most from Gentry hire?

Rodger Sherman on the evolution of Iguodala Good, quick read on how guys can be miscast because they look a certain way or put up "numbers."

The result was an Iguodala who produced less in a traditional sense -- he averaged career lows in points, minutes and usage rate -- but did significantly more of what Andre Iguodala was supposed to do: shut opponents down and cede the limelight to the scorers.

To me, this is sort of what needs to happen with Holiday. He's never going to be Nash or Curry or Paul or whomever. I don't think he's as good a decision maker as Conley either. Like Iguodala, he can score, he can create, but those are not his primary skills. Not saying he needs to come off the bench or whatever, but focus more on his strengths since he has Davis and (presumably) Evans and Gordon and Anderson to shoulder most of the scoring load.

And to be fair, I think he was trending in that direction under Monty. Too much ball stopping/pounding, but that's what Monty wanted.
