Well Epitome, that's been everyone's concern for the past few years now. However like you even pointed out, he's not someone who turns the ball over a ton so that's been my main point when I say his handles are good enough. Granted he'll never handle the ball as deftly as Nash or Van Excel but it's sufficient enough that he can handle it against some pressure and push it up the court and get him to the basket.

As far as Scottie Pippen goes, if Scottie came running at Isiah Thomas with those long arms of his, he would even get somewhat scared. You're talking about one of the NBA steal leaders in the HISTORY of the game, he can take the ball from anyone, if I were Fin I would be nervous about him taking it from me too.
