- Harris has the second highest usage after Kassius. Clearly Cuonzo believes in the kid. Harris' numbers show what the eye test shows. He makes things happen, but is also turnover prone. If he could cut down on some of those turnovers where he bull-rushes towards the hoop, he could easily be the guy we want running our half-court offense most of the time.

- Geist turns it over less than Harris, but he also doesn't have the same play-making talent. IMO Geist plays more like a play-making 2 (similar to Kassius) when he is on the court.

- It is impressive to me that Jontay can even be included with the guards in the playmakers group. He is a remarkable passer for a big man, and his size only helps. I am a big proponent of getting the ball into Jontay's hands in the high post and letting him make a play, especially against undersized teams as Jontay can pick double teams apart with his size and passing ability.

-Kassius has played more of a strict 2 guard game as Harris has stepped into the starting lineup. Most of his usage comes from shooting. But still promising to see a lower TOV% than a big (Jontay) and an above 1 AST / TOV.

-Phillips is interesting in that he has a relatively high AST / TO ratio with a low usage, however looking at his TOV% (Graph on the right) shows he actually turns it over MORE than Harris.
