I don't understand this sentiment in regards to AI at all, I keep checking his stats to make sure I'm not biased (as the tallest person in my family I come just shy of 5'10, we love the little athletes in my household). Hes never been surrounded by elite shooting and he has still put up 5 seasons of 7.1-7.9 apg. Hes always going to be a score first guy, but hard to build around? Very Good interior D was enough for him to take that team to the finals where the 2nd leading scorer averaged 12 pts a game. What you need around AI is solid interior D and perimeter shooting, both of which are abundant in this league. AI should be one of the few players who benefits from this format because he will be surrounded by the best players of his career.
