Bucks or Pendles?

The only thing I can think of that Pendles could be better than Buckley is his evasiveness. He always looks like he has plenty of time on his hands because he can sum up a situation quickly and dodge around players. Of course that could all come down to playing style because Buckley was pretty underrated for his contested work.

Yep, that is a huge advantage Pendles has over most players (current and past). Bucks didn't need that as much given his ability to hit targets off one step and often in congestion. Where Pendles is evading opponents to get out in space or create space for his teammates Bucks was kicking to a target(player or space for player to move to).

I still feel Pendles is finding the right balance in his decision making. It is pretty scary to think that he can improve in this area but there are still times watching I've thought he's made the wrong decision or tried to evade one too many opponents. These are mistakes that all players make but I just feel Pendles is more capable than the rest to lessen these mistakes. We know that Pendles is aware of this also and will only get better.
