I didn't know that...

Able to play both guard spots, Roy is mature beyond his years, having garnered a 3.16 assist-to-turnover ratio last season that bettered Deron Williams, Jason Kidd and Steve Nash.

Fox Sports has already demoted Poppin' Fresh... I wouldn't assume that...

Blake is the reliable backup point guard that McMillan will need when his team starts getting impatient or inconsistent. His assist-to-turnover ratio last season (3.65, good for seventh in the league) was even higher than Roy’s.

Yeah, they are both good in that category

Assists to turnover Blake #7, Roy #11

Assists per game Roy #16, Blake #23.

That’s quite the assumption on there part now, isn’t it? Not so sure that Stevie will end up riding the pine to start the season. Not so sure it even matters who starts, I’d put money on Blake closing out the 4th quarter of most games.
