Paul George has handles. I subscribe to the poin-wngs-bigs philosophy of looking at a team, so I have higher expectations for handling out of the small forward and less handling expectations out of the 2, though. I think George has good handles and finishing. He has shown more than just flashes of talent. I feel good about him playing the 2 moving forward, if that's where we play him.

I think Granger is the biggest turnover culprit on the team. Say what you will about Collison, but he's turning it over less than he did as a rookie in more minutes, and over the last two games he has 12 assists to just 1 turnover.

I'm willing to be patient with Collison as well but his turn over with 20 seconds left last night could have been a killer. to run the clock below 24 and still not get a shot was bad on many levels. all's well that end's well though.

Speaking of Granger, he needs a penetrating 2-guard next to him to free him up for open looks. Granger isn't good at taking defenders on the dribble; he's better as a spot-up or post-up forward. If he had someone next to him to break down the defenses, like Mayo can, he would look a lot better. If we look to the draft for a 2-guard, I really like Jordan Hamilton for this type of 2-guard.
