Even with Ariza he set expectations too high.
demps has a poor track record of bringing in low-usage players and expecting similar/better production at much higher usage rates. notice that when ariza went back to doing what he does best, all of a sudden he's back to being valuable
its hard to be efficient at high usage rates...that's why good high usage players are so valuable, and why the pelicans have struggled without (another) one

It is certainly a strategy that hasn't scaled up.
He seems to be pretty good, if not great at identifying players that are overlooked or deemed end of the rotation guys that are in fact capable of being solid to really good bench players up to borderline fringe starters: Ish Smith, Brian Roberts, Tim Frazier, Belinelli, Galloway, Cunningham, Morrow, Vasquez etc....Though he isn't good at cashing that skill in which is frustrating.
And he definitely has a blind spot with SF's, even in the above capacity. Letting Ennis and Aminu walk over the years for instance. Frustrating we keep having the same issues and making the same mistakes.

Demps is really awful at valuing and evaluating the SF position

i would (and did) argue that Hill was never going to be the SF everyone wanted. he was always more of a 4 on offense. the hope was maybe he could develop into a better shooter and playmaker. but he's not a "3." to me, the failure of the Hill signing (so far) is that i dont think he can defend well enough at the 4.
i think Demps just doesnt know how to build a roster that fits together. Jester needs to send him our Z Graph work

the guy I wanted Ian Clark on the minimum
he's finally adapted
not sure how Clark (6'3" 175lbs w/ no playmaking skills) factors into a wing discussion. he's a small SG. now Clark for a minimum v Galloway or even Moore? that's more interesting.
