A "guard" seemingly determined to lead the team in [shot] attempts is not a true point guard or floor general. Fortson's "way" of doing things may have worked at the high school level, but has quickly been diagnosed in the SEC.

In my opinion, "relishing" the role of having all eyes on him while jacking up ill advised 3 after 3 or not dishing the ball to open teammates has another smell to it - like an overdone hotdog.
