[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 772531, member: 2299"] You sometimes see guys come in and they don't quite seem to fit with how the team is currently built, but seem to obviously fit towards where the team is going. To me that is where Kyle is. On the current team we basically start 2.5 PGs, and whenever Kyle comes in there is still usually a better option to take care of the ball (unless we go something like Kyle, Mike, Khalid). That means he spends more time off ball than he really naturally would, and when he does have the ball in his hands the better option is for him to be conservative which limits him. However, I think what he has shown really meshes well with the direction the team is going after this year. With a line up of Him, Devoe, Coleman, Moore, and Howard, or with Maxwell/Kelly/Gigiberia mixed in or whatever, we seem to be really poised to take advantage of putting the ball in his hands and him driving and either finishing, kicking to one of the shooters, or dumping it off to one of the bigs. His ball handling will be a bigger advantage with the relative inexperience and ballhandling on the team next year compared to this, and allow for some of the younger players to contribute offensively without the pressure of having to create for themselves. To me, he's shown good ball handling and good defense as well as a pretty good ability to drive to either score or facilitate. Mechanically his shot looks good enough to keep defenders somewhat honest. The latter two are harder to judge because of his role on this year's team. Overall there is nothing about his game that really makes me that concerned with him taking over the PG duties next year. Obviously you don't lose a guy like Jose and not feel it but I still think we will be okay. Might take a little bit for the team to find an identity but that's not really unexpected. [/QUOTE]
