It’s a really weird team.  Lots of athleticism, very little shooting. It’s 100% opposite of the Boeheim Bunch teams.

FT shooting is really a concern. This team has two key players that cannot be guaranteed to hit the rim. That’s a ginormous flaw. Donnie has to play the 5 at end of games.

For all the defense, we don’t turn stops into transition baskets.  And then we get into 1/2 court offense and it stalls.

I don’t know what to think of Kingz. Pretty shot, just doesn’t fall.  He’s been more effective attacking the glass.

Kiyan- ugh.  Very concerned here.  He’s not doing anything in the flow of the offense.  He was a complete ball stopper today. Trying to operate clear outs against plus athletes who knew he was not giving it up.  He battled hard to get a couple buckets, but that is not winning basketball.

Agree with those who are confused by what George is doing- he’s not making his teammates better.  I’m not sure if he’s not confident in his teammates or what.

We missed a ton of inside shots too. Didn’t finish through contract for the most part. Very disappointing.

As far as Red goes, I think my biggest issue that I have with him is that he doesn’t use the bench as a teaching tool.  I know people hated watching JB pull kids, but ffs it sends a message. Watching players take bad shots and “play through it”….sends a message that it’s okay.  There’s a happy medium.

This team’s defense is good enough. No doubt.  We just struggle to score and we essentially lose 5-10 pts against good teams because we can’t shoot fts.
