Now that Will has been able to experience the struggles associated with playing out of position at point guard early in his career, then struggling at his "natural" position at the 2, he's ready to be a point guard.

It's all part of the process.

...also, why is it that they want to get Will more shots? That's a serious question, by the way.

Well doesn't need to be able to create because motion offense. I love that rationale.

Because the four or five he was able to create while playing against nobody in Lithuania is simply not enough.

Only missed 8 FTs in 34 games!

The question that immediately popped into my head upon hearing that Will would be the starting point guard was "how are we going to get him enough shots?" Good to see oscar addressing the one major concern regarding Will running point. Should be smooth sailing from here.

There will be so many passive agressive comments to cover extreme rage and depression. It will be grand.

oscar has been methodically working on the issues that just now pop into the minds of the normal fans. Thank goodness he is so far ahead of the curve.
