I just don't think he has the skills to be a true PG. Yes, I would like to see him cut those down. But at least a lot of his are from trying to make plays and not necessarily from being lazy.

TT is so damn frustrating. He turns the ball over way too much. A couple of them last night were pretty boneheaded.
But the other side is that he gets in the lane whenever he wants. It doesn't matter who is guarding him. He can get by anyone. And his speed is other worldly.
KUs problem is that he is the ONLY guy getting into the lane. Johnson wants to be a shooter, but did take his man off the bounce a couple times last game. Releford will beat his man periodically, but usually there is a pretty good opening or the guy overplays a pass or something. Releford isn't beating many guys off a cross over or a first step. Tharp tries to get to the bucket, but the game is still so much faster than he is, he isn't very reliable.
Pay attention next game. TT is the only guy going to the bucket. Sometimes he turns it over. Sometimes he chucks up a bad shot, but a lot of times, that's an OREB for us. A lot of times he makes a nice pass or a rediculous shot.
As a fan of fundamentals, it kills me to watch TT turn it over, but at this point, KU is uber boned without him.
