I'm probably going to misremember here, but that first year 40% of those "turnovers" were people without their hands up. I'm pretty sure none of those guys had EVER played with someone with Tinsley's abilities.
However, as a former point guard, it is also incumbent on you to know when and if another player is ready for and CAN catch and do something with the ball, so it might still be on him. But, Lordy, that dude bounced a lot of passes off people's noggins in that first season.
AND, the rest of what he did DID make you forget his turnovers. That's why so many remember him as the best.
Monte was great too, no reason that he can't be a close second.
