Agreed across the board.

Frank improved tenfold this season, mostly due to his shooting and scoring ability. His handle is still underwhelming and an issue. As you've said, the issue isn't always turning it over. It's about being unable to cleanly beat guys off the dribble, keep his dribble and be actively attacking with it. Your observation about it slowing down any offensive movement is correct; he's not smooth with his dribble and it tends to bog down the half court even further with our tempo/lack of sets.

Carey/Hughes vs Tyus will be an interesting change. Where we will be improved at the guard next to Frank? Defensively, I don't think we'll be as good, even though both our guards had issues preventing penetrations this year. Maybe that improves. I can't imagine either will be the type of scorer Tyus was or have the ability to get to the FT line. Maybe improved shooting? Rebounding from Hughes? Both will be 1st year players in games, so who really knows what to expect at this point...
