And one that we're noticeably shy on. It also can become a bit contagious, 
as I think it did last night. I think he offers a bit more than that, but I 
know I'm in the minority. Anyway, you're right that it's definitely what 
you want him doing though, not shooting 3s. And noticeable this season that 
he actually kept getting fed, where last season he'd have someone on him he 
could take but never see the ball again after the first drive or two.

I said I wanted to do some statistical analysis about it. I'll have the 
full database running, probably by the end of tomorrow. It's massaging the 
data into optimally useful feeds that takes time. FWIW if anyone has 
anything they want checked, effectively I'm importing all of last season 
and this season's boxscores into a couple of tables with individual and 
team stats for each game broken out, but within the same database to match 
and compare stuff. Cripes, is there anything worse than a data geek with a 
sports jones <self deprecating grin>
