    Murray leads the team in numbers of dribbles per game, not Jokic and it's not even close also. No matter how savant your big man playmaker is, the will never be your primary ball handler.


    To be frank, without FVV, Green is the best ball handler on the team as of now as scary it is to say that as I know people are deathly afraid of Green handling the ball.

    There are lots of factors that go into turnovers. A high dribble can be one of them. Mental lapses and lack of hand strength and size are also factors. In the case of Jalen, he is a very good dribbler. I believe most his turnovers are due to being muscled and lack of court awareness. Magic Johnson was a six foot nine inch pg. and his dribble was also high. Bbiq and our awareness are much bigger factors.

    Loved what I saw from Jabari and Amen! This game is nothing to get mad or our knickers in a twist over. Hanging with the Pacers is impressive.

    he will get the ball and fumble it and still go up with the shot once he stops fumbling it. Those are the off-balanced shots he doesn't need to take. he will be able to drive more in the coming years once he gets stronger.

    Touche"....but that really rarely happens. Agree he needs to get stronger though...and, he will.
