I wouldn't really call that a fact.  I'm not sure what makes anyone think he's a good passer to be honest.

I don't think he won't improve, I just don't think he's a PG.  This is the same board where maybe 75% (if not higher) of the people thought Scoop wasn't capable of playing PG up until his Senior year had already started, and a decent percentage thought a walk-on (Brandon Reese) was a D1 caliber PG.  We've also had discussions about how UConn's women's team would do against our men's team inexplicably enough......Soooooooo, I'm not that concerned with people disagreeing with me.  :)

I think he'll be a finer player - I just think he's a SG...I've seen relatively little to make me think he will be a PG.  Can he play PG?  Sure.

Cooney can too.  Would he be able to take that role on next year if he played the rest of this one as PG.  Yup.  Do I think he'd be a very good PG.  Nope.

Even Rak sets up players for open shots - doesn't make him a PG.  I've seen nothing against upper-echelon teams, or even just power conference teams regardless of ranking (with one exception), that I find very encouraging regarding his court awareness/vision.  I can't recall the last player who seemed more clueless upon approaching the rim in a half-court set.  He doesn't know where anyone is.

I hope I'm wrong though.  I really do.  I can't think of anything more exciting than eating crow when a player outperforms expectations.  I thought G would be largely the same player he was last year, I was wrong.  Yay!!!  :)
