The text above says it all but this season Killian has been averaging .8 turnovers compared to Cade’s 4.9 (Jesus Christ) and Ivey’s 2.2 (on less minutes). He knows how to take care of the ball. I fuckin hate Killian starting over Ivey, but at the same time, he knows how to make sure the ball doesn’t get into the opponent’s hands on an offensive motion.
Exactly. Killian is a passer, not a playmaker. All of his assists are from a stationary position on the perimeter or off the short drive with no defenders near him. He’s definitely a very talented passer, but the fact that he’s always passing from a safe position is a reason why his turnovers are so few. And he’s always passing from a safe position because he has absolutely no ability to drive into the interior, be that to score at the rim or even just to do anything to break down defenses.
Aside from his defender, nobody even needs to move in order to stop him from getting to the paint.
