Could Pippen have played PG and averaged 11 apg?

A few examples of MJ getting doubled

grant hill, mj, kobe, lebron, and possibly tmac have the necessary ballhandling and passing ability to average 10+ assists for a season, but only if they played in a suitable offense that allowed ball-domination (not the triangle)..

They would also have to START at point guard for their teams and therefore didn't share ballhandling duties with say, Mo Williams or BJ Armstrong.

Otoh, Pippen doesn't have the ballhandling capability to do what these guys could do AND DID (i.e. Lebron's 12 game stretch of 30/7/11... see MJ's 24 game stretch of 30/9/11 and 1991 Finals of 33/7/11).

so grant hill, mj, kobe, lebron and possibly Tmac can do it.

but Scottie Pippen doesn't have the ballhandling capability to maybe average 11-13/7/11 for a full season
