Aliir's ball handling has always been a weakness. He usually has at least one a game and we just hope that it's not too costly. It must be a lack of concentration, or taking his eye off the ball. He does tend to get ahead of himself a lot, thinking more about what he's going to do next rather than just getting a secure grip on the ball. It's something he will have to work on until he gets it right.
I remember how frustrating it was with Grundy's fumbling, which has only really cleared up in the last few years. I hope it doesn't take Aliir that long to get things right.
And even if Aliir is having a particularly fumbly day, we have to continue to use him and hope it rectifies itself. Otherwise, it's like playing a man short and heading for a loss anyway.
