Message: [QUOTE="007, post: 2235272, member: 393"] FWIW, I see both points on both sides of this debate. The offense per possession is not as inefficient as it appears, as per the KenPom metric. However, it is overly dependent on PG play and individual player talent making plays when the offensive sets break down, IMO. This seems to happen too often. There is not a lot of action and off ball player movement that leads to easy baskets or frequent open looks (not that this is easy to do for any team). Something more subtle is the lack of execution of basic fundamentals on those plays that are well conceived. Pull up any tape and watch, for example, how we run the double high screen set. Don't watch the ball, watch the players "setting" the screens. They seldom wait for contact, roll to early, not at all, or the wrong way (based on the how the D reacts); and/or the PG does not always set the screen up well or come off the second screen hard enough to force the D to adjust.
