So we need to bring in 3 guys that can bring the ball up because right now we don’t have a single guy that can handle ball pressure.I don't think the situation is nearly as bad as people are making it to be, as long as we have 3 guys who can bring the ball up in transition. It may be about the same even, if we find some scoring out of center. Jimmy gives us another post up guy who will put up nice unselfish numbers. Benny is gonna be awesome. I also feel it's not the coaching outside of Brass maybe(plus he was hurt 1/3 of the season), and the fanbase needs to start trusting the coaches. Red and Gerry should chime in with their voice more.
The real question though is who is the third guard? Insane to think only 3 guys are returning. Wish K,BB well and its sad to see Ajax go. I really think he had the potential to be a 230 pound post-up scoring pf like a longer guerrier in 2 years, but will probably end up playing undersized center somewhere. Griffin lacks the blowby dribble speed to play the 3 as a smaller wingspan 6'5 forward, and if he finds it why not play guard instead? Joe will get faster in the offseason, and buddy will add something new to his repertoire.
Also, it’s 99% coaching that’s causing problems. Recruiting, scheme and player management has all been an issue. In-game coaching has really gone downhill too.
