I do believe that Smart played in the NBA last year and averaged 27 minutes per game and 3.1 assists to only 1.3 turnovers. Did you watch any of the Summer League games? Not the regular season, but Hunter and Rozier have decent handles!! Did you watch the game vs. Olympia today? Did you watch Rozier at Louisville or Hunter in the NCAA tourney? Not the NBA, but we have Smart (who looked like an outstanding ball handler today) and IT who can handle the rock. Bradley can dribble a little as well, but he is turnover prone, but improved on that last year.

Yes Smart played enough minutes last season, but he played only very limited minutes as the ball handler.
Yes, I watched all Summer League games, and the rookies all look promising to me. But Summer League is not the NBA. The difference is immense.
Yes, I watched the Milan game and I liked what I saw.
Avery Bradley is a good kid. But saying that he could do a bit of the ball handling is making me think that you haven't watched any of the Celtic games of the past.
You need more than one proven ball handler. And even though Smart en the rookies are looking very promising, they are not proven handlers.
That is all I'm saying.
