I think this lineup may be an experiment all year.

It took Marek the whole game to figure out that if he’s at center he must pull his defender away from the basket and drive more to make up for the size/rebounding disadvantage. But when he finally did, he missed his foul shots. He does a lot of things well but his passing is not enough to make up for his impotence scoring.

Braswell came in and hit a three, but last game he came in and made 3 mistakes in a row. Then there’s a skinny freshman who shows great length and instincts but is still very raw. Then there’s Sidibe, who while I think he could use some good passes, still remains “serviceable” against better teams. QG‘s strength helps but he is not a good decision maker yet, shooting threes and getting stripped before a layup, poor passing...

As far as the guards go, we seem to have more shooting than usual, but less of everything else. Joe made some beautiful passes tonight. Goodine had two threes rim out. Nobody really got inside effectively. All of them were exposed badly on transition defense.

Needless to say, there is a lot of work to be done. To find the right lineup might be an impossible task this year given the disadvantage we may have at nearly every position.

We have to pray that each player gets better. Maybe a freshman or two figure it out.
