Ewing averaged one more assist than Walton, playing for a coach whose entire offense was based on running Redick around screens off the ball and being set up for catch and shoot situations.
Paulus did have some solid assist numbers his frosh year, not sure why I mentioned him except hoping that you only remembered senior year Paulus. With that said, he was playing alongside two All Americans (with the aforementioned offense designed to get him assists), McRoberts and a decent outside shooter in Dockery. That was an easy roster to pad assist numbers for.
The point remains that Redick.never demonstrated the ball handling skills that Stauskas did.
No, Ewing averaged 4.0 assist in his senior year that he started at PG alongside Redick. Before that, Ewing played off the ball as Duhon ran the offense
...and you adequately stated Paulus
I'm not saying that Redick was a better ball handling SG than Stauskas. I'm just saying that I could easily see Stauskas fall into the same category as Redick, but I would hope not if he's drafted by the Hornets
I don't want to debate about Stauskas and Redick when Redick was the better scorer and Stauskas was the better ball handler, all while being similar shooters. I agree that Stauskas is a better ball handler
