When you can't guard your position, turn the ball over multiple times at crucial times, are basically no threat to score, and you're the point guard, it's bad news for your team. What looked to be a promising year for Golden has turned out to him being the biggest reason this team currently sucks. Inability to control dribble penetration from the point guard will destroy your half-court defense; that's one of the main problems I currently see. Golden might be able to make up for it when he's scoring 20+ but not when he's scoring 7 or 8.
He's shit as a 1. He can only play the 2 and we won't win a damn thing until Washpun is remotely serviceable as the 1.
If he can stop his player from shooting layups every time he touches the ball, he has one-upped Golden.
You give up all offense with Washpun in the game but he turns it over less. Defense is a wash. He also has "upside" I suppose.
Washpun is a significantly better on ball defender than Golden. That, by itself, is reason for him to play ahead of Golden. Golden needs to learn to defend or sit.
