Guard play is what has to improve.  Ball handling is  ridiculous.  Frank Howard has no offensive game when it comes to shooting.  He needs to pass the ball to the shooters and work the ball into the middle.  John Gillon has real good speed but leaves most of his teammates behind. His penetration ability reminds me of Kaleb Joseph constantly going into the trees and getting rejected.  I rather seem him drive to the foul line and dish off or shoot it from that area or from the 3 pt area.

We need the rest of the team to help Battle and White and Gillon get open for shots.  The team is constantly setting a pick for the point guard.  We need to open the floor for the shooters.  Set picks for them. Once the shooters start hitting, that will open up the inside for Lyndon and Thompson, even Coleman.

There were too many 1 shot and done instances tonight.  I also feel that we do not move the ball fast enough.  Too often, the ball is in the point guard's hands when the shot clock is 7 seconds or less.  Howard is not the person that Should be taking those shots. Have Lyndon and White, Battle or Gillon take the shot.

Howard needs to mature quick.  He is making too many stupid fouls and dumb plays.  I could not believe his fouls in the first half and the number of timeouts used in the first half.
