Totally agree. But I think our guards, DD, Crutch, Jordan, Crosby, simply do not respect the hands and quickness of the opposition. Even the lowest level opponents we play have quick hands these days.
Darrell is a sitting duck for a steal if he dribbles more than 4/5 times. Crutch has to learn at this level your odds of splitting two defenders off the dribble without a turnover are slim.
Our guard's collective dribbling approach has High School written all over it.
And you can throw in the lazy telegraphed passes in that scenario as well. But it's a bit like fumbling in football. Once you feel the pain and embarrassment of fumbling, it tends to correct itself.
It just gets down to being stronger with the ball in several ways.
