Cmon man - everyone said he hadn’t shown good handles to this point and thought he should attempt to improve in that area to increase his draft value. Looks like Oliver is saying he has improved in that area which will be great for both him and the program if indeed he’s become a threat to attack the basket from the perimeterDon't tell anyone about Pons' ball-handling. It can't be true.
A long story there. Pons HIMSELF said he was a better ball handler than what people thought. Of course, people proceeded to bash his statement. I agree that last year, at least during games, he didn't seem to be a good ball handler, but if the kid said he was decent I was willing to believe him. Others didn't, which is fine. If he's improved over last season, that is great.Cmon man - everyone said he hadn’t shown good handles to this point and thought he should attempt to improve in that area to increase his draft value.

If he thinks he is and isn’t. He’ll add to the turnover stat.A long story there. Pons HIMSELF said he was a better ball handler than what people thought.

What if Fulky comes out and says he has a good 3 point shot and proceeds to jack them up this season. At the end of the year he’s at a 18% completion rate. Would you consider him a good 3 point shooter because he said he makes them all the time in practice?A long story there. Pons HIMSELF said he was a better ball handler than what people thought.

I have no idea....keep arguing with yourself. I made a statement about what a player said about his own skills. I wasn't saying that player was right or wrong about his own assessment. However, I think players usually have a better take on their own abilities than others if they're being honest.What if Fulky comes out and says he has a good 3 point shot and proceeds to jack them up this season.

Of course this team seems deeper at the moment. By the end of that 31 win team Barnes was only playing 7 or 8 guys total.
