Syracuse runs a isolation offense. Players can be accused of not playing team ball more in a isolation set because the sets don't favor a expected pass.

But I agree with Bees. Dion will say "I won't let that happen", but that means he won't let us lose not the team. I almost kinda hope that when that one loss does come this year Dion will be responsible for it due to 6-8 lost possesions [B][U]if he needs 2[/U][/B] learn from that.

As a 6th man last year he didn't lose games for us. Howerver,
If he is one of our top three go to guys and it seems like he is this year he can lose games. And this board is going to be on meltdown on him when the above happens.

So I hope people understand we run more isolation basketball and not to overblame guys for taking shots in isolation or when coach gives them the go. Thets not overcrucify guys who take 10 shots a game because coach gave them the green light for a supposed mismatch. Guys like Triche the last two games or Scoop last year when coach wanted him to shoot more

One solution to see if Dion is the me first guy would be to spread the defense more. Two shooters like MCW or Fair/KJO on the wings in the corner with a screen from Melo and Rak downlow. If Fair/KJO's and MCW shooting is on that night that could be our toughest offensive set.

Really the biggest question every year in the halfcourt offense is who is going to be the shooter to spread the defense? who is going to drive? and who is going to play some low post offense to spread the defense? And when a  multidimentional player can fill  in and do one of those three when the team really needs it, he is way more then a glue guy.
