Brandon Triche scored 94 percent of his points last year in transition, shooting after a pass, or making a drive immedietely off of catching a pass. Unlike pounding the ball or driving well beyond the three point line those are SG skills.
 
The other 6 percent was with him not driving immedietly, pulling up with a guy in his face, or pounding the basketball. THOSE WERE BEFORE BE PLAY and are point guard skills.
Can you run with a pg without alot of isolation or without the abilitiy to beat a really good defender when the pressure is on? Sure but he probably won't be a NBA point guard if so and could be the death of a team eventually in march. 
 
MCW has a ton of point guard potential. He is a amazing passer he throws the ball rediculously on target even from a distance with great court vision. imo [B]EASILY[/B] our best passer of the last decade and he showed it a few times last year and at the MCD skill challenge. No offense to Billy or Johnny.
 
I predict our weakest guard lineup will be with Triche at the one and Cooney at the two barring Cooney doesn't beat out Triche at the one. You proabably wont see Rak and Keita on the floor together in that lineup. But, I also feel Triche could get better in isolation in the offseason. Thats the one thing he needs to add to his game unless he becomes a bullseye shooter.
 
Peremiter isolation driving and shooting could be a issue next year if MCW, Triche, Fair and Grant don't step it. Or if Southerland Cooney don't show the ability to create their own shot with the ball in their hands.
