Thru 3 games: 22 steals & assists. 1 turnover.
I've been saying this for a long time. Dale Bonner is the best defensive and passing guard on this team. He was last year, too.
Best passing guard? Keyonte says hi.
George is a really good passer, too. I think Bonner is a little ahead of him at this stage. For a guy playing primarily off the ball, Dale's assist numbers are ridiculous this season and they've been really good throughout his career. And like Keyonte, he creates for teammates without turning the ball over much at all.
It's the opposite. We couldn't know for sure prior to real competition but George is a much better passer and playmaker than Bonner. A clear level above
George had a pretty disastrous game tonight. He had a 2-to-5 assist to turnover ratio and shot 35 percent from the field. We're not going to win many good teams against good teams with him playing like that.
Bonner had a poor night, too, obviously. But we don't lean on Dale nearly as much as we do Keyonte.
This is a poor take. George was about the only dog we had on the team last night in the final 10 minutes. The entire team shat the bed coming out of the locker room at halftime, and George nearly singlehandedly led us back.
It doesn't make sense for anyone who watched the game. He was excellent in the 2nd half. In the first half he did force some things but had two turnovers attributed to him that were mistakes by other players.
And we will probably have a few more turnovers as George looks to force the issue a bit. Our other guards still can't consistently break down an aggressive defense at this point off the dribble. Hope it improves. And to be clear, no knock on Cryer as he played very solid for his role.
George has the handle and first step to carve up college defenses as we saw in the second half. Also has very good instinct and vision. Should start to run primary action through him for stints of games against aggressive D's. Flagler and Cryer could have a field day.
