Many times, too many times, he is a liability when he puts the ball on the floor. It's like an adventure: Is he going to fall off the cliff or make it to the mountain top? 146 turnovers; 205 assists. Lousy assist to to ratio, and there really is no need for it. Much of it I believe is Buddy just loves to touch that leather. Turnovers are a killer that prevents you from winning games:
And it's not just the bad turnover, it's when the bad turnover occurs. And it's not just about untimely bad turnovers, it's about bad shots that are created by the love of the dribble.
Defining the roles for the players on this team is critical to getting to the playoffs. Players are going to have to sacrifice for the greater good - winning. And that means, imo, Buddy needs to dial back a lot his free lancing "woop, there it goes" dribbling adventure on the basketball court.
This also applies to Bogs, who engaged in a dribble fest to himself last year that led to nowhere.
