Message: [QUOTE="Husky25, post: 4430855, member: 2839"] The sample size is still too small as of yet on whether Newton can be a true point guard. A triple double obviously helps anyone's metrics, but Newton's A/TO is 1.67 after that game. It was 0.67 at 6:59pm on Tuesday. For reference, Cole's A/TO was 2.15 last year. I was encouraged by his dribble/drive, ability to get to the line, and most importantly, hitting the freebies. If one is looking to correct weaknesses, 3 point shooting hasn't been consistently halfway decent for years. I was hoping that with two true low post players (who do not have bricks for hands), they would get more open looks (and hit them), but it hasn't happened as yet. I don't think FT shooting will be a significant issue. So far, the BU contest seemed to be the outlier, but as I said earlier: Small sample size. [/QUOTE]
