That's great, but I am more concerned with if he can run a team.

Agreed. Assists/Turnovers/Steals is a much more important number for this guy.

Granted, scoring will be nice - especially for our scoring-challenged team. But we need a court-general out there...badly.

I am interested if a the guy can put the basketball in the hoop. I think we are missing site of the fact that for the last 4 years our team can not shoot the damn ball. It truely is the most important part of the game.

While I agree with that, the fact of the matter this year is that no one is drawing defenders and creating open shots for anyone. If Buckley can draw defenders and create some open shots for our perimeter players, no doubt our shooting percentage will increase.

We are a seriously challenged shooting team at this point. Need not apply if you cannot shoot.

That is what made Tinsley so good. Being able to drive, draw defenders, and kick it out to an open teamate. It truely makes the whole team better. (Granted the other guys on that team were no sloches either.)

Hopefully it won't be as big an issue in the future if Staiger and Eikmeier (sp?) are as good as advertised.
