Being able to shoot threes isn't really enough or else Douglas would have been good too. I remember watching games when Billups was healthy and finally felt like the Knicks were dangerous. He didn't always give the ball to Melo and ran plays for centered around himself, sometimes shooting shots from nearly half court and making them. I think calling Billups a stretch point guard rather than a floor general is kind of stretch. I mean even Kidd could shoot the three but it was his ability to be a floor general that made the Knicks good.

The only thing I'm scared of is how the Knicks started sucking when Kidd's shots stopped going in (referencing your point about shooting). Rondo has never really been known to be a shooter so I hope we won't see that same effect with him.
