Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4388206, member: 1414"] I think that was a critical skill to run 90s and early 2000s ISO offense. It’s not in a modern offense based on motion and ball movement, mostly through the air, not the bounce. Passing accuracy, vision, awareness, and a shot that forces you to be guarded are the key traits. You need to be able to handle the ball, all guards do, but Iverson level dribbling skills aren’t really that important anymore. Newton is a modern point guard. Jackson is a modern point guard if he fixes his shot. Cole was a throwback PG. Newton may not be [I]better[/I] than Cole, but he’s probably going to be a better fit for the offense and defense we run. I am hoping that Hurley starts switching on D now, rather than chasing & fighting through screens and hedging. Couldn’t do that with Cole. [/QUOTE]
