Yeah, I think you and I might have gotten into it over Scoop in 2011. He took too many shots and the team was worse for it. (I'm pretty much always of the mind that point guards should not be the first scoring option. That's doubly true when they can't surpass 42%.)

I think the rest of his game was solid, though; he was more fit and probably better defensively than he was as a senior and he distributed and protected the ball quite well. We really needed a shooting guard to help him out; between Triche also shooting 42% and Dion showing up fat and surly, we were handicapped.

I agree completely on Donte and McNamara and don't really understand opposing viewpoints. The 2008 team was limited but at least well-rounded; if anyone's taking 571 shots on that team, it should be Onuaku. Or Harris. Or Flynn. But the guy with the single worst percentage and the frame to play inside shouldn't lead the team in (mostly perimeter) shots. And failure to play defense or adhere to directions from the coaching staff isn't something I can overlook.

In 2006, it should have been clear which guard shot more efficiently (again, especially since the kid with the much worse percentage was pretty much a full-time point guard battling injuries).
