The General
My main issue with him, as has been touched on by others in this post, is that he lacks a certain base-line level of athleticism that the majority of point guards in this league have, which limits his ability to run the offense effectively. Ball pressure turns this guys into a turnover machine, and eats away at the shot clock. His raw stats look good, but they are inflated due to his domination of the ball. He is still below the Jrue/Lawson/Jennings-tier right now, until he cuts down on his turnovers.
Now, having said that I love the guy. I think he would make the PERFECT 3rd guard, 20-25 min a game 6th man, spot starter, etc. He can play both guard spots, and would look just fine next to a pure point guard. He has also looked great next to Gordon so far, as Gordon can handle the ball more and let Greivis pick his spot more carefully. Its only his 3rd year and he has improved so much. His energy is huge.
