I think we've gotten spoiled with such a great run of guards for 20 years - but James is special even if he never shoots (and his 35.6% from three-point land is fine). You are talking about a POINT guard who has as many steals as turnovers. Of the couple of hundred guards playing in a BCS conference, I can only find 5 other guards who have 20+ steals and more steals than turnovers (Gause-Seton Hall, Downey-S. Carolina, Kramer-Purdue, Warren & Nolan -Mississippi.<BR/><BR/>James eliminates the ability to press MU, and has dished out 65 assists (11th best of any BCS player) against only 24 turnovers. It looks like the string of great guards will continue with the recruit from Canada, but I think even James' critics are really going to miss him when we are getting pressed. Watching him on ESPN-U last night (yes, they've now suckered me into buying ESPN FullCourt and ESPN-U by putting an MU game on it), James was in complete control on both ends of the court even before he started shooting.JohnPudnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378028251507577250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-42814297783128732412008-12-23T09:34:00.000-06:002008-12-23T09:34:00.000-06:00It was a great game to watch (indoors), but, while...It was a great game to watch (indoors), but, while James did have a good game, he still needs to show that he can make those shots consistently. He still over-jumps on his jump shot and has poor form so I think those are always better shots from McNeal, Matthews, or Hayward, but today he was the man and it was a good victory. <BR/><BR/>Nice to see that the game coaching contributed to the victory as well... nice job Buzz!<BR/><BR/>Well done Warriors!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289175359625343674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-13840689946668532582008-12-23T09:26:00.000-06:002008-12-23T09:26:00.000-06:00why didn't you just go to buffalo wild wings like ...why didn't you just go to buffalo wild wings like a normal person?Spam Dunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918063815447513224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-88450718163176698082008-12-23T08:51:00.000-06:002008-12-23T08:51:00.000-06:00now that is some kind of dedicated blogger!now that is some kind of dedicated blogger!TBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897641917011759574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-61166412017840553972008-12-23T07:47:00.000-06:002008-12-23T07:47:00.000-06:00Nice recap of the game.
