Going into the season I thought we'd see some of Battle at point and White at shooting guard.  It seems like they have the potential to pull it off, but if it would help our team Boeheim would be doing it.  The fact that he was so emphatically against it says to me that its not going to work for us and he doesn't want people second guessing Gillon all year long.

Gillon is good against teams who try to pressure us.  He's bad when teams lay off, dare him to drive, and take away his passing lanes.

Florida St. is more of a pressure defensive team so he played good.  I'm not sure there's an answer other than to hope more teams pressure us.  It doesn't look like Howard is going to play mistake free basketball any time soon.

At this point its just a weakness we have.  I do think Battle can counteract that weakness by becoming more of a playmaker (which is slowly but surely happening more and more).  You don't need to be a point guard to create offense for your teammates.
