[QUOTE="Sedino, post: 2039493, member: 748624"] You overestimate it. He isnt a bad ball handler, but he certainly isn’t good. Anyone who has to look at the ball every time they go behind the back is not a good ball handler. The distinction he is making is bringing the ball up the court and initiating the offense, which MD is not good at. The amount of times I’ve seen MD either get his pocket picked or bounce the ball off his foot or watch the offense stagnate for the first 10-15 seconds of a possession as he brings the ball up is significant. Almost all of his assists and work comes from receiving a pass on the wing, doing what he does best with body positioning and footwork, and then distributing as the defense collapses. He is AMAZING at that, but it is a much more Point-Forward style of disturbing and playing making. [/QUOTE]
