I disagree here. Watch what happens when Jenifer and Broome are asked to sit out at the top of the key and let a defender hound them while they are dribbling for more than a couple of seconds. Jenifer has no issue because he is a superior ball handler. Caupain had no issue because he used his backside and length ala Magic Johnson to keep his defender from stealing the ball. Cane is not comfortable out there in that situation. He would rather be running around on the move or passing the ball to someone else than endure that type of pressure. To me it seems very obvious. Even if we let him sit out on the top of the key dribbling to run off clock...his passes after that point have not been as crisp or precise as Jenifer. I don't even think it's a close argument in these particular situations.

In case anyone is interested in rewatching I have edited the clips from Synergy and compiled into one video. No Commercials or Halftime

The Reality is Cane is the better player. And every one knows it. Jenifer has been in the program longer and Mick wants to reward his hard work. But I think by the end of the season Cane is going to be the primary ball handler in every situation.
And I fully expect Cane to start every game next year. Cronin is an "earn my trust first" kind of coach. Cane is doing his job. Cane's biggest TO games were early in the season, he has since corrected them and now is scoring, attacking and getting fouled. He will get his turn based on the way he is playing. I do think that starting is really over rated. Cane doesn't have to start to be effective, I think the last 4 games show that. Mick is trying to reward both hard work and talent. |

obviously this is the hope everybody has. but it is not how mick has treated these situations in the past. the lesser player continued to get at least 20 minutes. |

Cane has started 3 games including the first game of the year and 3 of the first 4. Cronin wanted Cane to be the starting PG and gave him a chance to.
I think he will be starting again but he had to learn a few things the hard way I guess. I'm ready to give it another go...lol! |
