We are having this conversation because a brilliant poster on this site pointed out his overall point guard skills as MEDIOCRE.

That struck a nerve in all the pedestrian posters on the board.
I think I made it clear that his contributions were "invaluable".
I also identified his contemporaries last season who, if evaluated for ANY professional team, were far superior at the POSITION. All you literati here come back with is what he did for the TEAM.
FORGET our record for a moment. Look at the team. ZUBY was the most important player on the team last year. RJ Luis was the best offensive player on the team last year. It wasn't even close with any other players.
Scott played his ass off on defense which was huge in many games. His offense was "MEDIOCRE". Smith was a true point guard whose injury made KD invaluable.
KD's real value that few college teams matched last season were his SIZE and mismatch opportunities. He was literally unstoppable once he got space to the basket.
Outside of that scenario his value at the point was not that of other point guards in college ball who were better shooters from every metric. His 3 point shot was nonexistent which is a MUST in the pros. His foul shooting was ATROCIOUS.
Hence my comparison to Nemdhard, Walter Clayton, and all the other point guards.
END OF STORY.........let's move on to our next great point guard next year....DARLINGS.
