    I agree that Shandon has always had trouble dribbling, and that he is trying to do things he's not (used to/equipped to) doing, and that it is probably because Francis, Mobley and Norris aren't including allowing him to do the things he can do. So far I haven't added anything to this thread, but to me, it doesn't look like he has the confidence to do his thing when he gets the oppertunity.
    I am impressed with the fact that he's kept his mouth shut about his lack of playing time, and lack of involvement. Didn't he run his mouth last year when he first started losing minutes to Mobley?

    And that's why I would like the Rox to target a Point Forward in the draft/trades who can help Steve with ball-handling abilities. Shandon kind of reminds me of Ceballos in that he's more of a "garbage man" and slasher than an initiator of his own offense. On the other hand, Mobley as we all know can definitely create for himself, but as evidenced Sat., is just a terrible decision-maker, something that Shandon is actually strong at. I just wish we could fuse the two together, 'cause then we'd have one hell of a 2 guard!!
