gentry has a reputation as a PG whisperer
maybe all it is is he's given smith some confidence...
a few of those jumpers were poor shots, but they went in
I was and have been more impressed with his ability to probe/press/engage the opponents perimeter D without picking up his dribble
it's so so so obvious that this offense is dependent on penetration or threat of from the ballhandler...the "dribble drive" offense that so many have suggested is the best fit for this team
ish may never score 20 in his life again, but that's not needed
right now he is a huge part of the turnaround and has been a revelation based on his reputation coming in

I'm totally on board with this. He's proven that he has worth and is an important part of this team, while Tyreke is out and Jrue is limited. I'm really curious about the rotation when Jrue's limit goes up to 30 and Tyreke and Cole are a full "go". Ish has earned a part of the rotation.

His spatial awareness has been impressive too. He seems to know where guys will be better than any of the other guards.

Yup. You can see how much a difference the spacing makes on ball reversals. Defenders are maybe a half step out of position and wings can get by them and into the defense. The Pels don't have many great off the bounce attackers, but they can catch and get into the paint quickly off good ball movement. That creates either a layup or a collapse and kick out. $$$
