JR Smith and Cavaliers are a Great Fit

Perhaps basketball insiders can tell which player will do better in what new situation, but I bet that the majority of them have a tough go at such predictions.  They're not alone, as top leaders and organizational pundits alike struggle to make the right decisions on whom to bring onboard.  The key issue is fit.  

• Take all that go into a player, such as capability, knowledge and skills, education and experience, plus motivation and personality.  
• Then take all that are part and parcel of an organization, such as leadership and staff, culture and climate, facility and operations, product lines and marketplace, and so many more things.
• Those basketball insiders must therefore account for a volume of complex, dynamic aspects and somehow make it all converge in the ways they have for JR Smith and the Cavaliers.  

Clearly this team is much better suited for him, than was the Knicks, because more talented teammates afford him better spacing for shots and because his teammates take advantage of his particular talents - spot ups and catch and shoots.  Not only has Smith found his perfect role and stride, but also he helps position the team better for a title run.
