Mario Chalmers has been doing well as a shooting guard, dropping 20 points and 10 assists against the Hornets on Sunday.
A reader noted to the Sun Sentinel that Chalmers is sometimes the best player on the floor when he’s playing at the 2.
“I think without the responsibilities of having to facilitate as much for others, or cover the backcourt when a shot goes up, it has been liberating for Chalmers,” said Ira Winderman of the Sentinel.
“For years, I have pointed to his innate ability to get to the rim and his passive approach too often against doing so. When Chalmers attacks, or, for that matter any player attacks, it gets the defense moving, which opens opportunities for others. Chalmers in attack mode is significant.
“The problem is the aggression with his ballhandling far from the basket sometimes gets him in trouble, as it almost did (actually did) near the end of the game against Charlotte.”
