You beat me to it. Good question Tyrant. Why are you willing to cut Douby so much slack and condemm Beno. I stated when we drafted Douby that I hoped they wern't going to try and convert him into a pt guard. Historicaly, it just doesn't work. Its been tried over and over again, and its a rare example thats sucessful. If you like Douby, and you want him to play. Fine, but he's going to have to do it as a shooting guard, and he may well be able to grow into that. But the dude is not a pt guard, and never will be. All the wishing in the world isn't going to make it so.
So far on a limited basis, Beno has shown that number one. He has the confidence to play the position. He's not tentative nor is he indecisive in making decisions on the court. He's a decent to good outside shooter and he very good at driving to the basket. He's an improvement over Bibby on the defensive side of the ball. He appears to have pretty good court vision and his basketball IQ appears to be good. His assist to turnover ratio needs to improve, and that should come just from being more familiar with the team and with playing time.
To me, that sounds like a good starting basis for a 26 yr old pt guard. I'm not sure what you want from him at this point. He was asked to come in and prove he could play. He did. So, we go from there and see what happens, and in the meantime lets stop wringing our hands. An old phrase my grandmother used to say. I haven't a clue what it means.
