I guess thats why I like Rhondo on Boston and Parker.
They play D. Jacque Vaughn would have never found
himself on the Spurs if did not play D. I dont think he
would be in the league as a backup with any team if
he did not play D. Its why Staudamire rides the pine now.
But thats the Spurs.
Coach pgardn does not like PG's that dont play D.
Augustin's momma is a teacher.
Maybe she will hold him back.
Please God...

You dont think it has more to do with Stoudamire's shot selection or refusal to pass? He has always been a shoot first gunner, what did they expect? Defense is far down the importance list of NBA PG's. Taking care of the ball, transition scoring and keeping the ball distributed to the scorers is most important. Augustin is fast, can pass and shoot. If he can limit turnovers and make good decisions he will do fine. Of course no other position depends on teammates for success as pg. Rebounders can get boards regardless of teammates, defensive stoppers and scorers are more individual players. He is better than at least 1/2 of the pg's in the NBA right now. And that's being conservative.
