From Amick’s article:

Udrih, a career backup with San Antonio who signed a five-year, $32 million deal last summer, finished ranked 22nd among point guards in scoring (11 points per game), 23rd in assists (4.7 per game) and 29th in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.16) among point guards who averaged at least 27 minutes per game (he averaged 31.1).

He’s become a bit of a scapegoat, but there are two things I believe he has to do next season – if he wants to be considered part of the future of this team (or any team for that reason):

1) Make outside shots
2) Improve his leadership

I’m not as concerned about the assist-to-turnover ratio as most, as I’d like to see what his numbers look like with a competent coach running an actual offense. But for a backcourt player on a roster that Geoff Petrie has put together, you HAVE to make your outside shots. That’s one thing I wasn’t so worried about with Beno prior to the season starting, but it’s been a huge weakness.

And the fingerpointing needs to end, period. Take some responsibility, just say “I have to be better” and show your team you aren’t going to throw them under the bus when things are going badly. I really don’t think the rest of the players respect him, and that is something you have to have as a point guard.

Fix these couple of issues, and we may at least have our backup point guard of the future…and maybe more still.
