NBA Rookie Struggles with Ball Control. In a concerning trend, rookie point guard Saraf has been plagued by turnovers in recent games. Despite flashes of brilliance, including three assists in Tuesday's loss to Charlotte and a season-high six dimes two nights prior, Saraf's inexperience has shown in his tendency to commit an equal number of turnovers. As the season wears on, the young player's ability to balance his creative playmaking with defensive responsibility will be crucial to his team's success.
In Tuesday’s 117-86 loss to Charlotte, Saraf had three assists but just as many turnovers. And two nights earlier, he’d handed out six dimes but coughed it up five times to counter them.
