Otto, agree on the screens/picks comment.  Perhaps, this is something that is missing with White being a freshman.   I have not seen him "clear out a lane" for a drive this year.   It hinders George and JJ especially.  I do think that both are hurt by open 3 point misses when they pass out to a wide open shooter out of the paint.   Again, every game is 5-6 wide open missed 3s.   Our opponents have shooters that do not miss those shots.

We miss Donnie Freeman as he is the only big man that has an offensive game that is reliable.  Kyle and especially White cannot be relied on scoring effectively on their own. (I love what both bring to the floor)

The PER and TS  bull is just that, bull.   Both JJ and George were on ACC  2nd/3rd team as picked by coaches.   There is something to be said about that situation.   Coaches know.  Numbers lie.  Even with their PER and TS #'s that is being thrown about.

The look test on Nate George is getting cloudy.  The dribble penetration and poor passing is disturbing.   I do thing our offence is problematic for him as a number of turnovers were him expecting for players to cut to the basket for a layup, however these guys  park themselves at the 3 point line instead.   Against a team that is clearly undersized that is a travesty.  Adjust your game to blow the team out, then run the sets to practive.

I do believe that last items is where Autry struggles.  Its like Joe Mazulla from the Celtics.  Play the 3 ball and live or die with it.  Becomes unwatchable when the ball is clanging off the rim.

GO CUSE
