funnily enough the PGs out there that score all the points are the ones that need to be worked on the most typically, because the reason why they shoot so much is an inability to help his teammates to find an open shot in 24 seconds.

my team is relatively week at PG but the few times my players have been improved in handling and passing i have noticed big improvements in game outcomes/numbers of assists.
you probably wont have seen this if you have always had a relatively strong PG.

the good thing with having decent levels of passing across your whole team is that you should be able to play every offense a lot more better which makes it a headache for your opponents who will have to gamble on what defence they try to put up against you :)

The importance of PG, is not the personal numbers
good PG should:
control the pace of the game
direct how the team attack or get/place the ball at the best location for his teammate to attack
avoid the team to get into trouble by controlling where the ball go
create a play out of nothing, when the original set fail

some common mistake of building through PG
1. good PG w/o finisher, then the PG will have to shoot it himself, then u wonder if u need JS for him, once u get the JS up, he will complete shoots with his teammate
2. good true PG having HIGH JS DR PA wings > too many ball handlers, duplicate skills
3. run only one kind of offense, usually LI because it looks like the PG get more AST

Fluff, yeah I suppose that does make sense. I will be looking to improve his passing a bit, so will hopefully make more chances =]

MyToast, yeah now that I have been looking at the right things, I am starting to appreciate him more =]
