Meh, he got his teammates wide open looks a lot in that 2nd half also. They were hitting those shots, but didn't in the 2nd half.

Another potential PG to add to the mix. This one is more of a scorer, but DX had rated as the 8th pick in next year's draft. He (stupidly IMO) has decided to declare for this year though.

Check out some of his games. He has had many 20+ point games, and even scored 31 on Florida.
Shot 50% from the field, 41% from deep, and 74% from the line as a freshman.

Dude can shoot and is very athletic.
Also has the same stats as Austin Rivers in 8 less minutes per game.

He did both in the game as well as distributing (in the first half) in the second half he was timid relied too much on inferior teammates. Lillard disappeared for the first at least 9-10 minutes of the second half, when he finally asserted himself they were down at least ten points.

That game came up a red flag. It's the only game I've ever seen him play, also the biggest game in his career. When the game got close again Lillard seemed to shrink in the biggest moment. I don't know if he has a history of wilting in big moments, but that's what I saw in that game. Didn't mean to sound wishy washy in my other posts.
Reminded me of when LeBron deferred in the final seconds vs. The jazz.

DX has him listed as a sg on his College team and pg/sg in the NBA. Is he more a combo guard or an actual pg?
In the debate of Lillard v. Marshall:
There is only one ball. If all of The Four become significant contributors as scorers (say, each averages at least 10 ppg, and average 50-60 ppg between them, and not even counting Millsap and/or Jefferson if applicable), having another guy that is going to use more possessions for himself and not be as good of a passer doesn't seem like the way to go. I think on most teams Lillard is the better choice, but with the breadth that the Jazz might have, Marshall might be the piece that makes everything work.
The only thing I'm still having a really tough time with in regards to Marshall is his inability to defend and his lack of length (same wingspan as height).

As far as BJ Young goes, if we're to make a judgment as to who he will be by his freshman season, calling him a "Point Guard" is a hell of a stretch. 1:1 ast/TO ratio, 2.3 apg.
Really impressive scoring numbers though (in terms of efficiency and age).

I think we need a scoring PG, and let the offense roll through Gordon. How many PG's really are pass first though? Nash, Tinsley, ... I've been at work all day, my brain is ****ed, who else is there?
Chris Paul, Jose Calderon, Rajon Rondo, Ricky Rubio (!!!), Deron Williams on a good team...
Hayward is a nice secondary ball-handler, but I think the advantage is largely negated if he's scouted and gameplanned as the primary ball handler. And as to this notion that the Jazz should have no clear-cut primary ball-handler/no point guard, there isn't really a precedent for that, and there's probably a reason.

I just want to point one thing out. Weber played Montana for the third time in the final. Montana seemed to be a team that had his number.
I was also very concerned with that game but even DWill had his team that seemed to be his kryptonite.
