D.J. Augustin dribbles too much, probably

Mike DiNovo-USA TODAY Sports

From today's Zach Lowe article on Grantland, regarding the Sacramento Kings:

Thomas dribbled the ball 496 times per 36 minutes, the fourth-largest number among all guards who logged at least 25 minutes per game, according to an analysis of SportVU visual-tracking data provided exclusively to Grantland. Thomas took an average of 5.7 dribbles every time he touched the ball, the second-highest number among all qualifying guards, trailing only D.J. Augustin, per the STATS LLC analysis.

That's interesting. Apparently Augustin is even worse than Jennings in this area. This makes me feel a little better about not getting Isaiah Thomas, although not that much. It's unclear to me how dribbling this much will affect actual on-court outcomes. Thoughts, DBB?
