MSU was the game I noted where he repeatedly picked on your quick handsy Fears to the tune of 18 points 6 assists and 0 turnovers. Odd that you’d use a game where he didn’t even have a single turnover as an example of him not being reliable with the ball.

It doesn’t seem like you’re watching the same games the rest of us are watching. David needs to be a secondary/tertiary ball handler, but to be concerned about that is odd to me because he did that last year and was phenomenal.
1. You are correct on the MSU game. He was good that game.

2. We can disagree. It’s likely. However, there is no need for you to try to chastise me or put words in my mouth or attribute ideas, likes, or whatever else that aren’t mine. I have no idea where “your quick handsy Fears “ comment came from or is about.

3. In the future, I’d appreciate if you would try to respond personally if you choose to reply or disagree with me. I know this is a community, but trying to rally troops or pit my opinion/response against the board with, “It doesn’t seem like you’re watching the same game the rest of us are watching’”seems like a persuasive attempt or whatever. Again, I’m all good with you disagreeing and handling your business, but trying to rally a gang gives small man vibes or online chat board bully type vibes.

That’s over 2 per game?

Quite a lot for a non primary ball handler.

Its not great but for cherry picking those games as notably bad ones its also really not that bad. Especially when you add in we are taking about a true freshman.

Those are what they said were his 'bad' games. He was at 1.9 per game on the season, 3rd highest USG% at 22.6. For a forward handling the ball at his volume, averaging under 2.0 turnovers is in fact a very good rate.
