Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 4846893, member: 966"] I don’t agree that everyone looks “lethargic.” I’ve seen that a few times. The guys are scrambling. They look like they [I]intend[/I] to be engaged on defense. They just don’t do it well. We get fooled by a few blocks and a bunch of strip-from-behinds, especially by McLeod and Brown respectively. But they are also getting abused and blown by, and Brown also gambles way too much, putting him out of position, forcing teammates out of position to compensate, and defensive possessions degrade. The offense is without a scheme or plan. If you’re going to let (make) Bell shoot that much, how about getting him some real space with screens? Seems like every time he shoots, it’s a catch on the perimeter, he looks at the defender, sees no room, sees no way to make a play for someone else, and he just shoots anyway. We were worried about a low release out of high school, but he gets his shots off even when contested. But many of those shots shouldn’t be taken. But he goes off for 20 in a game and saves us, so he’s our ‘savior.’ Not. Undisciplined shot taking—yeppers. Much of that is due to the lack of playmaking. Desperation. Knowing there aren’t going to be better shots later in the clock. Judah gets his 20ppg and he’s definitely on an audition tour. Sadly, we need those 20. Just wish he could mix in 6-7 assists. Not sure about the rotation, depth-wise. We were always going to play a lot of guys. We need to fix things from the inside-out. McLeod needs massive improvement. I have zero confidence in Griffin getting that done. We have no power forward. Brown is the closest we have yet he’s playing the 5. And we are out-toughed at every position. [/QUOTE]
