What we look like now is very similar to that as far as ball handling. The reports at the TDL were that we needed ball handling and shooting. In light of what we know now, are we sure that was for additional ball handling, or as insurance for what they figured was about to happen?
In the Burke role...yeah, I can maybe see that. But it's still a risk. I do think Burke would be the preferable option for a team that thinks it's a contender hoping to navigate a 20 game stretch wherein they're missing one or more of their primary ball-handlers.
I would suggest that they want to spread out the ball handling duties throughout the roster. In all honesty, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Wood bring the ball up and start the offense at times. He looks like he has those type of handles to me, esp considering the defender he’ll be opposite from.
