[QUOTE="GForce, post: 2039764, member: 191437"] On the Domask-as-ball-handler debate, he's not a ball-on-a-string, weave-through-a-crowd dribble/drive guy. That would be someone like Curbelo, who truly was an elite ball handler (and could also be careless with the ball). But I feel most assured with the ball in Domask's hands over anyone else on this team. It's because he's so good at using his big body and strength to shield the ball from usually smaller guards. He's able to overpower someone like Hepburn, who has to try to get around MD's bigger body and longer arms to swipe at the ball. That's a lot more distance a defender has to travel, and MD will simply spin his rump around and have a clear path to the basket (where he can either shoot or pass to a now-open man when their defender if forced to pick up MD).
