Re: Steve Blake: The White Terry Porter?
Blake is doing his job - really well. His job was to come in and provide leadership for Telfair and Jack, and show them how to run the point. He was a slow starter, but now has hit the groove. He plays the position well.
I think "true point" refers to a PG who does NOT look for his own shot. He doesn't take shots that are outside the offensive flow. Instead, he waits, distributes, screens, and shoots as last resort (against the shot clock). Damon didn't do these things, and he couldn't shoot at last resort because of his height disability.
Hopefully, Blake continues to do his job for the next 15 months and by then, Telfair or Jack are ready to catch him. They have more talent - but its un-realized in running the team at this point.
