Imagine how good even the current lineup could be with an AVERAGE point guard? A ten point, 5 assist guy, is that about average?

Dante's handle doesn't look good enough to be our primary ball-handler. I understand why he defers. I think he'd be turning it over constantly if he tried to create... if he tried to split double teams, drive into traffic, etc. He looks like he's about to lose it any time the opponent puts pressure on him. For example, I don't think he can do what Rodney is doing when he probes the defense and shields the ball with his body, bounces it several times in the paint before pulling up for a mid-range push shot or jumper(and Rodney is not much of a ball-handler either).
I think that(along with adding some strenght) is priority no. 1 for him in the off season. I have no idea how much he can develop handle in a single off-season, but if he can't be secure enough with the ball in his hands, then he can't and shouldn't have the ball in his hands.
edit: damn, I thought I was in the game thread. Sorry for the off-topic... about Trey - the most worrying thing with him is not that he shot 4/22... it's that he doesn't seem like he understands some very important concepts for a PG, like getting your teammates involved, like not taking stupid shots, like getting the ball to the hot hand of a teammate(Favors was 8/13, Ingles was 7/10, hell Rudy was 7/11, but no, Trey had to chuck his way to a 4/22), he doesn't recognize matchups where we have advantage - Favors was defended by Budinger for huge stretches but only finished with 13 shots in 42 minutes)... Hero-ball is the ultimate fall for Trey and the biggest culprit in his shooting woes. He doesn't recognize that he's no longer in college and there are better options in offense than him, and he can't or doesn't want to create for those other better options. I don't know if he can learn that, but if he can't he'd have very hard time remaining in the league.
Wow I was so disappointed with this one. It's got to be on the coach. How could you leave a guy in who's shooting that bad. Moreover how can you leave a guy in who thinks he's the only player on the floor? There is no way those d leaguers on the end of the bench can be that bad not to play in front of that crap.
Wtf ... that last shot, he didn't look to pass at all. Favors was open at the elbow calling for the ball, Booker was streaking into the lane and what does the chucker do but chucks up a 30-foot prayer. I'm sure Quin didn't call for that! This guy has got to go, the sooner the better!
