I think assists are overated when you give them to a quick isolation threat, or get them in transition. They just are not the same.

My problem with Scoop is having the right guys to work with. If he had more speed and scrappyness the guy could be Jameer Nelson but hes just not.

This is my positive criticism IMO...

1. He just isn't going to blow by [B][U]all[/U][/B] division one point guards this year and it could cost us a big loss even a season ending one evenutally.
It has the last two years in some Big games. Im a supporter but hes just not lightning quick enough for his size (even with his massive upper arms).

2. He just isn't built for a no high post offense. He doesn't have the speed to compensate for the height loss to be. Even with those massive upper arms to protect the ball. Maybe if Rak and Melo get better as the season goes along and he turns to a full time feeder.

What he is...
3.[U]Hes a pop and go PG with a e[B]xcellent[/B] crossover due to his ability to protect the ball. With a [B]excellent [/B]pull up foul line Jay, and [B]excellent[/B] layup skill.[/U] He can protect the ball extrememly well and low with his strong upper arms, but that doesn't translate to points in the paint. That translates to protecting the ball and getting no bucket.

[U]The problem is getting him those spots to be that[/U]. I just don't know if we can throw that in as a suprise trick play 5-6 times a game to get our 5th year senior rolling. If we can figure that out we will be much better this year.

Even if it means making him a 6'0 SG instead of PG those spots are so key.
