Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 4442040, member: 11108"] So you don’t think Khalid El Amin was a point guard leader in 1999? There’s a difference between best player and leader. Ironically, our coach during that era, Jim Calhoun, was impressed by Diarra at practice. What that means IDK but I wouldn’t completely ignore the his observation. At any rate, what I said was arguments have been made by posters here for the various guys I mentioned. That’s true. Personally I agree Newton is the leader today, but there are other guys in the mix for significant minutes and things can change. And he will have to consistently have a better assists to turnover ratio than he did at ECU. The other issue, will he view himself as a pass first or score first guy? Sometimes it’s ok to say, we simply just don’t know all the answers yet, no matter how smart we may think we are. The Boneyard usually overrates the last couple games and underrates other bodies of work and the possibility of something different playing out in the future. Many here had that issue with Randy2 in football, they were tied to the past. We will see how the assists this season play out. [/QUOTE]
