Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2879549, member: 40"] In this case, it does equal better. Hughes is a much more natural dribbler, he handles the ball effortlessly, and he has a better feel for attacking in half court offensive sets off of the bounce. Battle relies on a couple of go-to moves, that he's become quite adept at, but he isn't nearly as natural with the ball in his hands. Tyus has developed his handle to being average, and that in conjunction with his physical capabilities makes him dangerous -- especially in transition. But in terms of handle alone, Hughes is a little bit better than average. I 100% admit that Hughes defers offensively to the more established players. And that's to his credit -- despite being one of the top scorers, he isn't forcing, he's letting things come in the flow of the game. But there is a difference between "isn't" and "can't" -- and the notion that Hughes doesn't handle the ball well enough to be a 2 isn't remotely accurate. [/QUOTE]
