LOL. God you repeat yourself a lot.
Mayo, Griffen, Storr....all have shown to be as good, or better, ball handling, and scoring, than Elmarko.
Make up your mind. Is Elmarko the lead guard needed to "initiate the offense" or is he the "slasher"? Because those aren't the same. DH can initiate the offense. Griffen Storr and Mayo can be late clock scorers (as can the 7'2 3x AA center, but apparently he's only allowed to shoot with 10+ seconds on the shot clock in your system of basketball you've dreamed up.
If you're wanting a late shot clock scorer at guard, no fucking clue why you'd want Elmarko, who is offensively limited. Both ballhandling wise. And shooting/scoring wise. His best shot, the pull up mid range jumper, is one of the statistically worst shots a player can take. But, I know you don't like stats.
He can jump high though. Thats cool. And I know that excites you. Eye test.
Elmarko shot 40.6% from the field. Thats not very good for a guy who only shot when he was wide open last year. If you discount DH for it, then be consistent.
Mayo Storr Griffen. All 3 are better than Elmarko. Maybe Elmarko will be better than them in the next few years, but he wasn't prior to the injury.
