Yeah, the passing is remedial along with the defense.

X's and O's plays to get him the ball in the paint isn't really part of our 1-trick pony pick-and-roll offense.

The only safe pass we can seem to get him with any consistency is from the side perimeter near the baseline and he has to come out from the key with back to the basket to get it. He then tries to backdown his man into the key for a spin layup or babyhook. However, most of the teams we're playing now have figured out that's our only effective pass into him and collapse a guard on him from top of the key and double him to steal the ball as he tries to muscle in (basic coaching. ) To his credit, Eddie was picking up on that more last game and passing out to a perimeter open shooter when that happens and we hit a few treys (or at least good open looks.)

Carlos can pick an occasional decent pass, but not when he's dribbling terrified that his faster mark is gonna steal the ball from him (which is 90% of the time.)

Wish JJ had better passing skills, since he's the fastest slasher, but I think he is what he is at this point.

Eddie is the best passer and he can't pass to himself.
