Besides being one of the best SG's off the dribble in the country people don't realize that Dion is also a great passer. [U]Sure he looks to score first but He can throw a ball right on target like MCW did at the AA game. [/U]He has a nice speed burst dribbles with his head up and seems to have good peripheral vision . The thing with last year was we didn't get to use our SG's passing skills because...

1. KJO started his drive on the perimeter in isolation and he didn't get doubled which took away any passing ability Dion or Triche had. We rarely ran a drive and dish to KJO or Southerland in the corner.

2. Rick was on Scoops side so Scoop throwing the post up pass to Rick was common sense. Why make a longer pass across the lane ([U]to the opposite elbow[/U]) instead of a drop pass over the opponents PG.

3. CJ took advantage of teams off the dribble on Ricks side while Rick was doubled.

4. No low post threat on the team. Rick CJ Fab and KJO were all high post.

5. We obvioulsy needed more scoring from our SG's especially with Rick playing on Scoops elbow taking away most of Scoops driving opportunities.

Compare that to Flynn having RJackson in the low baseline post and Rautins and Devo on the perimeter. To Wes and Andy on the perimeter with Rick or AO in the low post with the ball in KJO's hands.
Give them the right chemistry to work with though in 2012 and Dion and MCW will be one of the best passing backcourts in the country with Triche. I would venture to say the best maybe.
Man could we use Dajuan or Fab to play tough inside big time.
