[QUOTE="Chad Fleck, post: 2040034, member: 748535"] And here's another. Marcus has done a commendable job, but he's no elite ball-handler. I think this is a case where data can't be used to tell enough of the story. As someone else mentioned, he has to look for the ball when he puts it behind his back. That's wild for someone who brings the ball up at this level. The Illini are routinely getting into their offense with 15-18 seconds left on the clock, because MD basically booty balls the defender all the way down the floor. It commonly works, because MD can just wear the smaller quicker guard down and work him all the way to the rim. I find it somewhat nervewracking to watch, much of the time. [/QUOTE]
