This team isn't better without Bryce, but the dropoff isn't as severe as you might think (or used to be).
The two big things are the ball tends to move better without Bryce, and other guys are more aggressive looking for their own shots. I don't think it's just a matter of him over-dribbling, although he does that sometimes, as much as everyone else deferring to him a little too much.
However good we might like without him for a 15 or 20 minute stretch, though, there are still moments of a 40 minute game where it becomes clear how much we miss him. The other guys will either tend to get turnover happy or just go cold for awhile without his shot-creating ability on the court.
I think a big point of emphasis should be trying to get Bryce up to around four or five assists a game. When he's doing that, it usually keeps the other guys involved enough that they stay aggressive.
