[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 2039477, member: 746137"] 100% true. That ability to fend guys off with his hip and feel his way through a crowd works as well in the backcourt as it does in the paint. And he's a super intelligent passer, thus why we're using him as a PG in the first place, you want the ball in the hands of a guy with his elite game feel as much as possible. But he nonetheless struggles to bring the ball up against pressure because his handle isn't that good, that's just reality. He got the ball straight swiped from him twice yesterday and had a couple other close calls. 12 TO's in the BTT. For a Missouri Valley forward, he's basically a miracle as a Big Ten PG. But there are fundamental limitations there, as there are with Rodgers, as there are with Moretti, etc etc. I don't think anyone would accuse us of being a perfect basketball team. BU has put together the best brew of a bunch of very talented but kinda weird parts. He likes teams like that. [/QUOTE]
