No he does not play closer to Steph. Some players try to imitate Steph.
You miss my point. I don't disagree with you on Bane's ability, versatility. . . and maybe basketball acuity.
In my opinion, Bane would best be used solely as a shooting guard, his ability to make 3-point shots, is a distractor from other teams that were sagging in the paint with 3 or 4 players surrounding Franz and Banchero to prevent them from scoring close to the basket. Another strategy that other teams used to prevent the Magic from getting to the basket is "zone play". They were not concerned about other Magic players because of lack of 3-point shooters.
In the last half of the season, did you not see how Franz was missing easy layups? He got close to the basket and tossed the ball over the basket.
And yes, I watched plenty of the Grizzlies games. I am a basketball and football junkie. :)
Edit: We shouldn't plan to use a newcomer based on how they occasionally played for another team. For example: Aaron Gordon was used as a ball handler on the Magic a number of times, but he is not a ball handler for Denver and it has worked out for that team. In watching Denver games, I have seen Aaron playing a lot on the perimeter and in the corner, not as a ball handler.
