Am I the only one who is seriously concerned with Goran's ball handling? It does not appear to me that Goran has NBA point guard level ball handling ability. Am I wrong about this?

He goes through spells where he is really trying to force things, both with his passing and penetration and its certainly ugly to watch.

When Goran's ball handling is pressured, he loses control frequently.

It's been a glaring weakness ever since he came into the league, and I'm at a loss to understand why he hasn't addressed it. You'd think the one thing a player could work on pretty easily by himself would be ball handling.

It's what seperates good and great point guards.

Frye finally has a game in which he doesn't suck in and OF COURSE I miss it!!!

I chuckled at his 3 rebounds stat line though. 3 rebounds for a 6'11, 250 lb PF in 28 mins.

His one NBA level skill (if you can call it that) is opening the floor on offense. Puling the opposing Power Forward out from the post.

Despite his 6'11"-250, he is a Shooting Guard, not a legitimate big man. That remains a gimmick rather than a way to win consistently. Especially since he has lost his 3-point shooting ability except for an occasional game.

For an announcer, he'd make a good color commentator. Maybe. When he sat in on the Tom Leander pre-game shows for awhile, he constantly talked over Tom Chambers.

Oh well, he could always go back to doing Frys commercials. :)

Anybody else notice how the entire teams energy level goes up about 3 notches when Bledsoe is on the floor?

It shows up in the stats, too. Our overall defense was steadily improving until he went out then it reversed direction quite markedly.
