Don't post much and didn't see last night's game but I suspect he's struggling because he's caught between being a setup type point guard (a la Ennis) which many people have discussed and a more aggressive type point. Against a zone, it's best if they set up a plan of attack and they need to pass it back and forth a bit until they find a hole in the zone. According to reports, that seemed to work last night.

However, that doesn't work against a M2M...in that case, he needs to try to beat his man off the dribble and then attack the rim or dish it off. Sometimes, a pick and roll is the way to help beat the man guarding him. The best I ever saw at that was Edelin...he was a master at beating his man even though his physical skills were somewhat limited.

It looks to me like he's trying to do the same things against a M2M than he is against the zone. That won't work and he needs to learn how to change his game accordingly. I think he will get a lot better at that as we go along...don't forget that his pg starting experience is 11 games.
