Okoro and Merrill are primarily stationary shooters. The ball moved better and crisper when DM was running the show because he’s more decisive and forceful. Guys like Merrill, Okoro, & Wade are always going to look better when the team moves the ball well and makes the extra pass.Allen, and more importantly, Okoro and Merrill looked like completely different players when Mitchell was the primary point guard.
Definitely could be a coincidence, and I’m not willing to draw a straight conclusion to the starting point guard being the only or most important factor, but this thought popped into my mind.

i posted it somewhere, the scouting report is out on garland and he is easy to defend, or at least make the team settle for shots they don't want.The way that Mitchell plays collapses the defense more than Garland does. Garlands slow and probing doesn't really collapse a defense in so it doesn't really generate the same kind of 3pt shots.
If you think about the style of play with Delly, Calderon, and George Hill, they never really generate 3pt shots the same way that Kyrie or Lebron did while running the offense. I think Garland has a more similar style of play to those first 3 players than he does Kyrie or Lebron when they ran the point. Part of it is the gravity of the ball handler threat of attacking the paint and putting up a quick shot.
...shouldn't it raise red flags that the 3 best +/- guys are hurt, but the teams Big 3 is still out there?
