Great play-makers don't average less than 2 assists a game. A guy who is a smart passer and keeps the ball moving, might, though. Ginobili handles the ball 1000 times better than Fields. He can weave through traffic, draw several defenders, and kick it out or finish. Ginobili showed those abilities even from day one in the league.

Bonnie, being as smart as you are, you do realize that knicks1248 (who do we ap-pre-ciate!) is comparing Fields to Ginobili and using the old ""is going to be as good as" rhetoric? Meaning, not today but perhaps some time soon?

Yes but he provided no rationale for the claim.

You will also note that Fields' rookie stats are pretty much better across the line as a 22 year old versus Ginobili's stats as a 25 year old rookie.

Yeah, I'd say Fields is looking like a better SF as a rookie than Ginobili looked as an SG as a rookie. Fields is a promising SF who hasn't shown signs of the play-making abilities a starting SG should have.

i take back the smart comment.
