Mark, I think Siva will be very good at the point. He has good ball handling and passing ability. I saw it last year watching him play three games at the King of the Bluegrass tourney and running the point in the Derby Classic. He really shined running the point and was far more impressive than Bledsoe that weekend. I think Siva's problems are twofold. He hasn't gotten as many minutes because of injuries early in the sason and he needs work on the defensive end. He still plays defense with his hands, something that worked for him in high school because of superior ability. He cannot get away with that on the college level.
Everytime I think Samardo has turned the corner, he goes out and lays an egg. He had been playing well the last month or so, but he was clearly outplayed by Greg Monroe last night.
I think you are spot on about Jennings, he has million dollar ability and a 10 cent brain.
