If you want to say AB didn't meet your standards of acceptable PG play and he has a lot more development to go through, by all means you're entitled to that opinion. If you want to say that AB barely played PG or took on the responsibilities of PG, or that his skills, capabilities and aggressiveness limited his effort in that role, again that's fair and reasonable and your prerogative. I'm not pretending that there's an abundance of times where AB was running point, but as seen above, he did play the role. "At all" and "exclusively" is your hyperbole you fall into when your opinion isn't accepted absolutely, and it's bad faith discussion.
That's why I asked what your threshold is to regard AB as a PG. What parameters must he fulfil for you to consider him a PG? If the above isn't enough for you to consider him a PG in development, what does he need to do to qualify?
*Sigh*
Ben... it's not literal.
Of course Black got some assists. It's impossible to play basketball for more than 1000 minutes in a season and not get assists. Gary Harris had 87 assists and no one would accuse him of being a point guard.
But the actual numbers that matter are what they are. Black barely dribbled the ball last year. Black barely touched the basketball in the halfcourt last year. The amount of reps he actually got on the basketball compared to the amount of reps he stood in the corner and didn't move was what... 10 to 1 in favor of the stand still and wait? 15 to 1? 20 to 1?
That's not developing a guy as an on-ball player in any respect.
When a guy plays 95%+ of his time off the basketball, you obviously understand what I'm saying.
Trying a "gotcha! it wasn't 100% of the time so screw your hyperbole!" thing is just silly, man.
