Shotmaking is known to have a lot of randomness. I was unaware that the ability to dribble the ball over half-court and start the offense was also subject to wild randomness.

Ha Ha there should be a stat for bringing the ball across half court with ease per game.

Well the guy has played many minutes at pg every season he's been in the league. I'm not aware of any lingering problem he's had bringing the ball over half court during those many years.
Neither was I. Of course, I didn't really pay attention to him, either. Did you?

I have watched every minute Foye has played in his NBA career. Every god damn second.

No, lol, I have to admit I never really cared about him.
Still though, why would every team he's ever played on play him at pg, if he couldn't even get the ball across half court?
I fully admit that he's never been a great pg. But we all know Tinsley isn't great either, so the bar he has to beat is pretty low.
Foye, a still relatively young player, who's been an adequate backup pg his entire career, vs Tinsley, an adequate starting pg his entire career, but is old as dirt and was washed up and out of the league several years ago.
That's the argument on paper. Now let's see the argument on the court. We've seen Tinsley's, now let's see Foye's (and Burks too).

Can we please end the irrational love affair with Burks? Dude simply can't hit a shot other than driving layups. I'm more comfortable with Howard shooting free throws and CJ chucking 3s than Burks shooting outside of 10 feet. I'm convinced that generally you can't teach someone to be a good shooter. People back off Burks the way they used to with Brewer. Wasted pick.

They don't back off him the way they back off Tinsley, that's for sure.
