Head Idiot In Charge
Some of you folks are ridiculous.
Dre wasn't going to come here and put up 25/10/6/3/2 every night.
He's hustle, defense, and basketball I.Q doesn't show up in boxscores.
However
Do folks realize he's the #4 if not #5 option on most plays? When you have Steph/Klay/D.Lee/ and eventually HB on the court, there's no need for AI to be the focal point. Its hard to be a slasher when your teammate takes 3 steps across halfcourt and chucks up a shot.
Is AI a great outside shooter? (33% 3pt last year) Hell No. Does AI provide the leadership vacated by Jack/Landry? ABSOLUTELY
Its one thing for Coach or another "average player" to tell Klay/HB/Green/Steph how to prepare and execute in games, but when an freaking Olympian speaks you know he commands the respect.
Stop and smell the roses, and as Jeff Kent would say "Enjoy the game"

However
- He is an above average passer, 2nd in dimes behind Steph on the team
- He is a top 10 finisher in the open court
- He is a probably a top 10 defender and guards players 1-4
- He plays defense without fouling
