System or no system, sometimes you have to take the best player available, no? :bang:
No. Not the way JB recruits. He has been recruiting to make his Zone the best possible and we don't go after players that don't fit the system. I'm not anti-JB. I'm not anti-anything because it is what it is. But JB has been recruiting to build the perfect ... or at least a solid ... Zone D for the last decade or so. One thing that has suffered from this, however, is our offense.
JB does let capable (or earned) players the green light to do their thing but the focus seems to have been on the Zone D side for the last decade or more. It has been successful to some extent, but I would like just a
little tiny bit of focus on offensive sets. I turn green with envy when I see great passing teams that get's their shooters open. Strike that ... I get green with envy when I see a team that has shooters that can hit their shots ... lol
Honestly, this is one of the rare seasons in the past few years where I'm excited to see how the team develops and how JB decides to manage the team. There are a lot of young players and a change in strategy from a more guard oriented team (Trevor, MCW, Triche, Waiters, etc) to a forward/center focused offense. I think its going to be a great ride to see how McC, Kaleb, Roberson, BJ and Patterson grow during the season.
It may be a rollercoaster ride, but I have NO idea how this season will pan out, versus last year with those nail-bitting-can't-sit-down-----oh-snap-we-won games.
