This is where his thinking appears to have changed.  Last year, most of the time we had 3 ball handlers in the game.  He didn't seem to say "we have one point guard" like he is saying this year.  Judah didn't generate that much for others, but between him, JJ and Copeland, there was enough ball handling and enough creativity.  It wasn't all just on Judah.

This year, it was mostly Carlos, then JJ getting more time handling the ball, but we have lacked the third ball handler at SF.  Westry could give us that extra guy, or Cuffe.  But Taylor isn't enough of a guard.  If he was consistently playing Cuffe 5-10 minutes a game, he could give us what we need from a third guy to handle the ball.

What we have right now are Carlos, Choppa, Cuffe and Taylor.  He's basically only playing 2 of them as primary ball handlers.  That's why Cuffe and Westry need to get worked into the rotation.

Last year, also, it seemed that he rotated players more to put more pressure on the ball.  That has evaporated, and is another reason to play more of the bench, to bring more energy to the defense.  He used the zone effectively at times last year, too.  Now, forget it.
