Brooks/Lowry: Creating by keeping the dribble in the paint

since when did PG mean pass the ball all the time?

 

Nash and Paul are both incredibly skilled dribblers. They make the ball look like its a yoyo attached to their hands.

I'm thinking that Lowry and Brooks would love to be able to do that but don't have the confidence or skillfulness to do so.

 

lowry has great handles but hes just not a flashy dribbler for better or for worse.

 

Both Nash and CP3 use the hesitation moves to get open, Lowry uses aggressiveness and speed, and Brooks does as well.

Both could use a little hesitation in their games, they are learning....it will come.

when? when, like 2012? as of now, i'm thinking Yao has another 4-5 decent years left in him if his foot holds up, if these guys don't step up, we're not even contenders, we're basically the bottom team in the playoffs year in year out. there are too many young athletic teams that are getting better and better, we're getting worse and worse.

if morey's thinking what i'm thinking, we're not gonna be contending until 2012.

 

in sacramento, none of the players, bibby, christie, peja, webber, divac needed to dominate the ball, they shared, cuts, pnr's, curls, etc... we don't have a presence in the post like they did, we don't have passers like they did.

bibby worked well with christie because christie never demanded the ball, he shot when he was open and passed the rest of the time. our team and sac's teams are completely different.

i think we need to trade brooks, at least while his ceiling is high. we need to improve through the draft, getting legit talent. not a SG in a PG's body.
