Message: [QUOTE="OrlandoCuse, post: 3182076, member: 115"] Having a bunch of elite athletes out on the court is very important. Bigger, stronger, faster teams will often overpower their opponents on their way to winning games. But sometimes the bigger, stronger, faster team falls short in other areas. Shooting and Basketball IQ We’ve had bigger (taller) teams in the past few years. Not sure we’ve had stronger teams. Maybe some faster guys, but we didn’t play fast. Shooting was spotty and they definitely were guys on the team that had much lower BBall IQ’s. I think contributed to our mediocre seasons. The offense flow was poor. Lots of dribbling around and standing around. Result was a lot of threes chucked late in the shot clock. Sometimes they went in, often they did not. But it was a very anemic offense to say the least. This team appears to have the makings of a team full of guys with high b-ball IQs and good shooting ability. We’re a bit smaller than years past, but I don’t think we’re any weaker (strength) or slower. If anything we play faster. So I’m excited to watch a bunch of young guys with great shooting ability and high b-ball IQ. It’s a very welcome change.
