Marek can’t score inside. Working inside out works when you have someone that can score inside.
Post up Moyer? For what? What’s he gonna do?
Push the ball. I miss that too. Have you seen these guys run a break?
Move side to side? Why?
Screen off the ball...for who? To do what?
Our offense sucks. It’s a hard watch. I’m frustrated too watching it, and wish we had better ball movement and more off the ball movement and screens...I don’t know that it would be any more effective right now though.
We have nobody that can score inside. We have two guys that can shoot, one that can create mid range shots for himself, one that’s a decent passer with questionable overall instincts, one forward that’s a good athlete, one forward that can pass, and one forward that can dunk if he’s open. There’s not a lot of skills there at this point. We all knew offense would be a struggle this year.
I agree with all this. It is frustrating though because these guys aren’t necessarily chopped liver recruits on this team. Way more ‘talent’ on this team compared to ND without Colson/Farrell. Still, their guys got into the lane and made plays (granted they missed many shots) but they were penetrating the zone. Maybe some fatigue on our part helped them rebound the way they did which was totally unacceptable. Moyer should be able to do and show more being that he was a Top 100 recruit. One would think Chukwu (and he has improved no doubt) should show better instincts by now. One would think Frank’s handle would be better (if he is going to be a lead PG and not a SG) and I realize he has improved as well. HW looks lost. I thought Buffalo’s freshman guard looked better than HW. The dude who went to LeBron’s HS in Akron. I don’t know. I guess I expect more and the ability to execute basic basketball plays from most of our guys but maybe I shouldn’t.
