[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 790011, member: 2299"] Kyle is a very different player than Jose and Mike is different than both. All 3 can be, and two have been, successful with their style. The thing is, especially with guys who handle the ball a lot, you need a team that adjusts to their style. You can tell that everyone on the team is used to what Jose does when he drives, always expecting him to keep his dribble alive and be ready for a pass with his craftiness. Usually you'll see guys position themselves for possible dump offs or lobs instead of going for offensive rebounding position. And that's the right call with Jose. Likewise when Mike drives, players usually try to create space for him to allow him to get his angles, and rotate to provide him releases if his drive doesn't get to where he wants. IMO Kyle is more like a usual Carolina PG. When he drives, you want your bigs not to position for a dump off like with Jose, but for an OReb. For this team that somewhat hurt as we didn't have good rebounding and compound that with not playing for rebounds usually. If you're worried about him for next year just remember that there is a big difference between a guy trying to step in and be a role player to an established dynamic, and having an offseason/preseason/preconference to completely build around him being a core player.
