Is Monty responsible for some of Vasquez’s TOs?

“One thing I am certain of is that Williams' many different rotations are not making life easy on Greivis Vasquez. After Wednesday's action, the Hornets starting PG was tied for first place in the NBA with 109 turnovers. New Orleans fans have been overly critical of Vasquez for something that I believe is mostly not his fault. How can Vasquez develop any consistency or rhythm on the court when Monty Williams is trying so many different rotations?”
I was somewhat surprised when I read this article as I did not think about it before. The question is: Is it legit to blame Monty’s tendency not to settle on a fixed rotation affecting Vasquez ability to connect with his team mates? I personally think is mainly Vasquez own fault, but I guess, it would not heart for him to play with the same people for a while (by the way today GV climbed up one spot and is now 3rd in APG in the league, and climbed up from 56th to 17th in A/TO ratio

Yes. Those turnovers should all belong to Aminu instead... Would learning the tendencies of 4 guys be easier to master than 9? Sure, but I think Vasquez himself would tell you it's HIS responsibility to be able to play well with everyone on the team. People talk about 2nd units like teams sub out 5 guys at a time, that's just not how it works. Whether Vasquez is starting or coming off the bench he'd still need to be able to play well with the top 10 guys on the roster.
People want a finished product but this roster is a work in progress with only a few major pieces in place.

That would make sense if Vasquez's turnover issues had to do with chemistry. They don't. The Hornets run the same set over and over...high pick and roll.
His turnovers usually come from opposing PGs pressing him and getting into his chest, because they aren't afraid of blow-bys.
With that said, its not all that big a deal considering the league leaders in turnovers looks like a whos who of NBA stars every year.

people on this board are far too critical of Vasquez. he hasn't been the best in clutch time, but the more experience he gets in it, the better he will get. it will also help when he has EG on the court to help spread it out, rather than having teams double down on anderson/AD

All I know is that I saw what kind of player he was at around this time last season. And I see what kind of player he is now. He's really good at some things. Kind of good at a couple of things. And he's not so good at a couple of things too. Last season, in the first couple of months, he was pretty much bad at everything, except his attitude. But they brought him in here to develop and that's exactly what he's done. Personally, I really like the guy.
