We can talk about his superior playmaking all we want, but it means nothing at the end of the day because Jameer Nelson will always be handling the rock on this team. The Magic have fallen too far in love with their "All-Star" PG to take the ball out of his hands.
to be fair, everyone admits this team needs a second 'go to' player. i think Jameer dominating the ball is their answer to this, using the pieces that we have. at this point, i'm happy to hold out hope he gets it together and can return to playoff Jameer form. it's either that or we pray this team executes perfect 'team ball' every night, and that's not a gamble i'm willing to take.
and, yes, i know how much i championed Hedo when we acquired him, and i still stand by the fact he's our best playmaker, but i also realise that this team's evolution relies on someone stepping up as a second scoring option. the best candidates for that are Jameer, JRich and Arenas, and i'd rank them in that order as well.
