He might be forced to handle the ball because the Magic's PGs are straight up garbage and have been for years, while THJ has Luka and Brunson, but he's not good at it and he doesn't make anything happen when he dribbles the ball. We just spend all our time obsessing over our players short comings and don't particular care about other player's short comings ... particularly a prerenially non contending mid market team. He went for 2 seconds for a reason.
Okay, maybe you have a point there. My eyetest also tells me that THJ's defense isn't as bad this season as it used to be and that Fournier often was a defensive liability when we played Orlando. But I hesitated to bring that up because THJ's advanced defensive stats are worse than Fournier's. I guess one shouldn't trust all those stats too much.
