I’ve mentioned a number of times this season that having him in with Sion puts primary ball handling responsibilities on Sion, which is good, and allows Foster to focus more on SG types of activities. Figure out where he’s most effective from 3pt (I’ve suggested the corner because this is the shortest distance 3pt shot, I believe, while helping most to spread open the floor), and plant him there to spread the floor and take threes. His threat as a driver isn’t strong enough right now, and it’s probably less than 1 point per possession when he tries to drive to the basket. The most beneficial part of this arrangement is that the offense is less likely to turn into the slog that it does when he runs point.
It’s clear that he continues to be a supportive and culturally additive teammate despite his on-court struggles. He’s in a funk and he’s likely better than what we’ve seen this year, and the symbiosis of his good attitude and his teammates’ good attitude will help him get through this.
