The Importance of Drills in Ball Handling

People think handles and they think what matters is dribbling. What's going on with the hands is one small component of ball handling. I would take the guy who can move really, really well over someone that doesn't have great hit dribbling ability. Think uh, Russell Westbrook. He very rarely gets to a good dribble combo, but he'll just hesitate and blow by you because what happens below the belly button for him is so good. These are the guys that will wow you in stationary drills.
