Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4319744, member: 1414"] Absolutely. Honestly if you are dribbling to break a press your team may be badly coached. You attack a press through the air. Even without a press, no one guy should bring the ball up and they shouldn’t dribble. If there is a player open ahead, move the ball through the air. Watching the Celtics and the ball rarely crosses half court by way of the dribble. Too many here seem to have some archaic view of what a PG is. There is no one guy dribbling and creating shots, not in a modern offense. AJ’s ability to pass ahead accurately makes him devastating against a press. What you said about NBA teams is true, but I think it’s true for the upper echelon of college teams as well. Jackson is a point guard in the modern game, or to use Hurley’s word, a facilitator.
