Stan may have said that but there is also other aspects of the game. Suddenly Ish is the fans new why we don't play him guy. Perhaps the Jeremy Lin story helps the cause. Reality is Smith is a barely in the league player. He has almost no history in the league. The minutes he has played in his career he has not been very good. Suddenly Stan suppose to play him rotation minutes because he can get the ball up the court. In reality wouldn't it be fair to say outside of that Duhon is better than him in just about every skill. So if that is the best option Stan pretty much forced to keep playing Ish. Just hope a professional PG can get the ball up the court.

Kevaroo- I think you are vastly overrating the skills needed to run the Orlando 2nd unit. Vastly. Bring the ball up the court and run the set. Get past full court press if there. Move around. Don't turn the ball over. Sit on the bench and drink Gatorade.[/quote]
False.
Against 2nd worst team in the league Duhon is 0-2, 5 turnovers, 0 assists and two fouls in 6 minutes of play.
Hellen Keller could run this offense better.
