Charles has been hurt, so while most of the criticism of his play I've seen is fair, I don't think he's at his best right now.
With that said, my biggest gripe with Chuck is our reliance on him. The way I see it, we have one of the best PG's in the league in JJ, Turtle, who is probably already the best passer on the team, and Chuck. If I'm our coach, I just can't see any scenario in there where Chuck gets 28+ minutes a game at the 1.
Considering our lack of production from the 3 spot on both ends of the floor, I just can't understand Fox's refusal to play Mann there. Obviously the idea has come to him before, considering it happened some last year. Considering the fact that we have Turtle now, as well as the fact that we've been going smaller this year, I can't figure out why Chuck doesn't get more minutes at the 3. ETW and KPG have had their ups and downs, and right now, neither of them are one of our best 5 players. Moving Chuck to the 3 for a good part of the game would keep him on the floor while allowing him to slash and cut and play around the rim, and would give our best PG more time at the PG position. Would get Turtle some more minutes too.
I know this has been discussed at length on here before, but it's getting to the point where Chuck is just not effective at the 1. He's still one of our best 5 players, so he needs to be on the floor, but not at PG for 30 minutes. Moving him to the 3 for a significant part of the game does both of these things, and IMO, this needs to happen soon.
