From the Post-Standard article this morning on our offensive woes:

“Battle's trouble, it seems, is he has struggled to make threes off the dribble. He is converting 81 percent of his threes when they are assisted (eg, catch and shoot). But the Virginia game illustrated how hard it's become for him to make threes off the bounce and to recognize a good three from a contested three.

Brissett, by the way, is making all of his 3-pointers off the catch (hoop-math.com). Only Howard, who has the ball in his hands most of the time, has been able to make threes this season off the bounce.”

If Battle and Brissett are much better on catch and shoot 3-pointers, why not run one of them baseline and then run them off of one or two screens out on the perimeter or have them flare to the side? We used to do that with Cooney, Southerland and others. We used to set double screens to get Rautins space on the perimeter. Why don’t we do any of that this season? The figures compiled by the Post Standard show that Battle and Brissett and much better in catch and shoot situations at the 3-point line. There’s not enough creativity with our offense!
