I'm really happy BA has had something of a coming out party the past few games but he's nowhere near our best ball handler.  I'd even put Vital ahead of him under real pressure.  Until BA can beat a press against a good team without dribbling the ball off his foot out of bounds he still is who we think he is.  My problem with BA is what happens if he misses his first shot.  The body language is bad and he clearly gets down and it affects him and his teammates.  I remember the game before he went off for 30 he missed his first shot and when they huddled Whaley had to almost forcefully pull him in.  You never see that with Gilbert or Vital.  Ever.

Akok is on another level when it comes to a great attitude.  Bouk seems perfectly happy helping the team any way he can right now.  Gaffney is clearly not ready for prime time but I like what I'm seeing from him so far.  If Gilbert drives and kicks out like we know he can, he can probably average 7 assists and we'll only be wondering what seed we'll be come March.
