Message: [QUOTE="orangefan13, post: 122330, member: 906"] I know I may sound like a debbie downer but I am taking more of a positive criticism look with this team because I know the potential is there. And I personally feel offensive efficiency in the half court is our one and only glaring flaw right now. Are there little things that could make us better? Sure, But that is the biggest one. Its all about outscoring the opposition. Having a true isolation star we get a B-. KJO Scoop and Dion are the three guys to take over this roll. I think Triche is getting there and will be there by next year if not by the end of this year. No true STAR but the isolation is developing. In terms of having a 3rd set piece option scorer we get a A with Triche and either Dion or Scoop joining him. Only reason we get a A and not a A+ is all three are guards. In terms of having the solid 4th and 5th option for sets piecies I give us a B+ to A-. Between Melo, CJ (mainly) there is good things there developing. They are starting to show signs of occasional isolation baskets. Southerland has played himself out of the lineup but he will be back. And MCW, Rak could eventually break out this year with more experience and a second gear. Keita does his job and doesn't force shots. Scoop, KJO, Dion, and Triche haven't been shooting the ball as a collective whole as good as last year, and we haven't even hit Big East play yet. That is going to improve. As will our offensive boards and valuing second chance opportunities instead of just throwing the ball off the backboard and hoping for a prayer. Overall I would give us about a B in the halfcourt offense right now though. And about a 6.8 - I think we can litterally get 4 notches better B+, A-, A , A+ and perfection. [/QUOTE]
