LOL...sergio is better than duhon in every aspect of the game...while duhon is busy walking the ball up the court desperate for a lee pick and roll only to pass it right back to lee, sergio pushes the ball up, penetrates and kicks it out to the open player...hes miles better than duhon...players missed open shots otherwise sergio wouldve have 12 assists.

great point. makes the passing of jennings and ty lawson for jordan hill even more devastating. steve nash, a very good pg, won back to back MVPs with the keys to d'antoni's offense. why can't walsh get this?

Amare also played a key role in MDA's offense... from his comments on draft night MDA said Jordan Hill reminded him alot of Amare... that was probably the reasoning behind the selection... not trying to justify it over taking Jennings, but Jennings does not exactly fit the Steve Nash mold.

besides, u know MDA would have had Duhon playing minutes over Jennings this whole time anyways.

1.He had maybe half a prectice (reports say he got in at 7am.
2. He runs the ball up the floor
3. he had some nice behind the back passes
4. Can get to the basket if he wants

And he would have had few more assists if Al did not blow a point blank shot and a couple of wide open 3's.

I like the J Hill selection. So I may have major egg on my face. He and JJ2 didn't get into the Pacers game last night. It will be interesting to see how Alderman uses him going forward.

He's a much better passer than Duhon. He has much better vision than Duhon. He shoots about as pathetic as Duhon though.

But, given out situation, he should be our starting PG with Douglas backing him up and Duhon should just be sent home.

again with these proclamations based off 1 game... where is this amazing court vision being displayed last night? i didn't see it... & i'm not saying this just to piss on the T-Mac trade, i just didn't see anything special out of Sergio last night other than him being very active on the court... he made a nice hustle play & stole a rebound away from 1 of OKC's bigs coming from the blindside like Ward used to do on a regular basis... that was nice to see... he ran the ball upcourt instead of walking it upcourt like Duhon does, which was also nice to see... i didn't see any amazing passing or court vision skills on display however... not saying he doesn't have those things, but judging from last night's game i don't see how anyone can equivocably say he's all that.

Sergio and even House did things with the ball that I've never seen Duhon do not once. They push and they have a wide range of vision.

I'm not saying we've found our PGs of the future or anything like that all I am saying is after even just one game these two guys showed just how mediocre Duhon is.

Nothing more...and nothing we didn't already know...but damn after watching it Duhon is far worse than I even thought he was. And I wasn't exactly a fan to begin with.

In fact, TMac, House, Sergio showed us JUST how mediocre Chandler, Gallo, Duhon, Harrington really are.

But, well, it's what we've been dealing with over far too long. A mediocre roster so bad that when you see even a halfway capable player take the court you're in AWE of his skills.

Just more evidence that Walsh is right to tear the mess down.

i'm gonna be fair to Duhon & remind u that when he was playing well, we were playing our best ball of the season... i don't think anyone can fairly say otherwise... he obviously wasn't playing great most of the season but judging from last night's game i'm just not ready to annoint Sergio as being any better than Duhon... he'll have to show me a lot more than what he showed me & help this team win games before i can say for sure... i like the fact that he's active & pushes the ball upcourt, but there wasn't much more i saw out of him last night that made me think he could be our longterm answer at the PG position or make him stand out so much over Chris Duhon... just MHO.

Another thing about stats, we learned from Steph that there are assists and then there are assists. How Steph got his and how Kidd or Nash got theirs are completely different things. Duhon had some good assist games but how he got them is the question. I believe Sergio can provide a better grade of assists if you catch my drift. I think they will be more fluid and that he will spread the assists around more thus keeping the defense off balance and our offense less prdictable.
