We don’t disagree about what we want. I’m just surprised you seem to be insisting that Autry had complete control over who was recruited/signed when he was an assistant. I include JJ in that category.
Either way—I think JJ is/will be a better shooter than he showed in his first year and a half with us. He turned a corner during this past season and I expect that funky release will be fixed even more in this offseason. I have high hopes and expectations for Choppa. I think he’s a natural shooter. I think Freeman is going to be a better shooter than Benny was. And Wesley is a playmaker—I’m not concerned with where he scores from. Bell will be Bell. I think if he improves it will be counteracted by increased attention, but maybe he’ll be more consistent?
I’m expecting that Red will have to install a better, more flow-oriented system, less iso-dependent, and the offense will benefit from the motion. That’s why I’m beginning to be less concerned about having a high assist guy at PG, and more interested in just improving the assist numbers from every player, to result in higher totals, spreading the duties around. Just glad to be done with Judah’s offense.
