Judging a point guard

From the World Herald:

Sherron Collins, Kansas' preseason All-America point guard, has seen his scoring average drop from 18.9 last season to 16.0 now. So how much sleep is KU coach Bill Self losing over that?

None.

Fewer shots and points for Collins mean more Jayhawks have progressed to play at a higher level. And Collins, who soon will have been part of more wins than any other KU player, has been happy to share.

"I judge him strictly on if we're winning or not," Self said Monday. "That's all you should ever evaluate a point guard on.

"The shooting percentages don't matter. The steals don't matter. All that matters is if you win. That's why I think he's the best because he does whatever we need him to do."
