I was looking at the scoring stats on espn and they have steve francis listed as a sg and not a pg. has anyone else noticed this
Yeah, I noticed that last year when checking stats and felt that it was appropriate, given his strengths and weaknesses as a player. It actually hid the fact that his assist-to-turnover ratio last year was dead last among all starting point guards in the league, since shooting guards have a much lower standard for this stat and he ranked somewhere in the middle among shooting guards. His assist-to-turnover continues to suck this year, but the team is winning because everybody else is passing better and taking better shots and playing better defense. Hopefully, Steve will play like a good point guard as well, as he already plays like a very good shooting guard with his scoring and rebounding.
"The Mavericks had 15 assists on their first 17 baskets, with Nash handing out seven of them in an effort to get his teammates rolling." Steve Francis, and all other Rocket guards are up for a big game against Dallas and Steve Nash. Coach Van Gundy should figure out a way to stop the fluid offense that runs through the hands of Steve Nash. I saw some highlights of the Lakers-Grizzlies match. I saw some great passing by Jason Williams. Really good passes. In the game against the Miami heat, I saw Mike Wilks pass to Torraye Braggs who in turn passed to Yao for the dunk. It would have an assist for Wilks to Braggs except Braggs was well-covered. I think Wilks should be given a little more playing ---a little competition for Moochie Norris. Norris did have that three point shot.
