Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3228842, member: 1220"] Back then Rueck did not have the level and depth of talent he has now. The last thing he needs now is a ball dominate volume shooter. A good point can either pass or score when necessary. A really good point knows when it is time to do either. Any scorer or volume shooter can go cold and then what? The points primary role is to keep every other player engaged in the offense. That's the real difference between a point who can score when necessary and a guard with physical skills but with the mindset of a 2 playing point. That is the issue that Slocum was dealing with last season. She had to learn to become a real facilitator. Some players get assists and pass to teammates when their own shot does not open up. A real point looks for teammates first and will score when there is no other option. When you are a primary ball-handler, you have err on the side of facilitating or you'll destroy offensive flow.
