if the best ball-dominators can't win, then it's an inferior strategy
Accordingly, the historical failure of ball-domination confirms that your best player shouldn't engage in something as simple as initiating a possession - lesser teammates can do that, while the best players should be CLOSING possessions as needed.
Closers spend some time as assist targets (off-ball), which faciliates ball movement and elevates teammate role to playmaker - both of these things transform team ceiling to vastly higher levels compared to simple spot-up roles that ball-dominators impose on teammates and strategy..
Furthermore, the enhanced ball movement wears out defenses so they have less capacity for offense.. Indeed, closers win the attrition battle by wearing out the opponent and knocking them out at the end.
