Let's assume for a moment that KCP develops the handles needed to be a legit NBA PG.

When would he develop the vision?

Dwyane Wade was a point guard when he first came into the league.
Steve Smith was point guard when he first came into the league.

KCP does not have their explosiveness or handle. I would hate to see him put a position of fail by becoming our pg. His handles can improve, but we are not there yet.

Bottom line, KCP has never been referred to as a potential point guard, and if you have watched him play it's obvious as to why.

He is a great defender at shooting guard and has potential to be pretty good on offense as well, but not as a point guard.

Exactly. I'm just hoping he can become a half-decent SG, let alone a PG. He has nowhere near the skill set to run a team.

davidvolumes wrote:curious to know from ppl who has coached or played basketball, what do you think of K.C.P playing point. If he could be brought along , even gradually, would love to draft joe harris as a shooting guard. Any thoughts? Chauncy didn't have great handles nor did he break anyone down off the dribble.My question is can k.c.p be coached up to handle primary ballhandling duties in a motion offense similar to San Antonios offense.

I don't think so, dribbling was one of KCP's weaknesses. He'll have to put major work in to be our primary ball handler.
