Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1649386, member: 40"] I wasn't comparing their games--I was making a comparison about their relative abilities to fill in at point guard for brief stints. Like Dion, he's got a good handle [which is best used creating his own shot opportunities], and appears to see the floor reasonably well. That's where the similarities begin and end in terms of this comparison. It remains to be seen whether Battle can "come in and run our sets" -- after what I saw last night, I don't believe he's a point guard, or that our team's best interests would be best served trying to shoehorn him into that role. People expecting him to be MCW or Gbinije are setting themselves up for disappointment, IMO. As a complimentary ball handler who's freed up to attack and do his thing--that's a much better role / fit for his skill set. I think it is much more likely that Howard starts at point, with Battle alongside him up top and a third guard [Mali] nominally playing 3. [/QUOTE]
