Does ball handling matter enough

this is a sampling of high usage players with low ball handling with not many turnovers per game. It seems ball handling works on a different scale like defense did earlier or its not having the impact it should. when i play tough defense on these guys, they may have a bad game but they rarely turn it over.

I don't know the answer to your question, but you're looking at some elite players. So possibly their many other skills make up for their lesser ball-handling skills. Maybe they're more likely to get the ball and put up a shot quicker than a lesser player who would dribble around more. So therefore these guys turn the ball over less often. Or they pull down a rebound and dish it off to a good ball handler quicker than a lesser player who may put the ball on the floor first before finding someone to pass to.

now ill post pictures of players with higher ball handling skills but more turnovers. also it looks like not enough high ball handling players are being produced.

i hope gary takes a look at this. as of now, it seems low ball handling doesnt adversely effect players and high ball handling doesnt benefit players as much as youd think.

gary did an excellent job tweaking the numbers for defense and i hope he can look at this as well

I agree this is worth Gary taking a look at, but the ones with high turnovers that you've shown are all PG's so they are handling the ball and passing it more than anyone else on the team, so you'd expect more turnovers than the ones you showed with low turnovers (who weren't PG's).

I keep my offensive pace at 7, and it helps a lot with both TOs and scoring. Fewer passes = fewer mistakes!
