Lack of penetration by wrinkle... Sounds like it was made for 130 on Cinemax.

Back to the basketball side of the thread as already noted your points are spot on. As a team we should be setting a hard screen every single half court possession and forcing our way into the paint. Once teams have to respect the drive, the roll or pop man will be open.

It starts with setting some real screens first. Force teams to respect and have to play through the picks. When you effectively screen and run your offense off of the pick and roll and dribble and kick , you can frustrate and tire a defense pretty quickly.

Like was noted - we didn't do much here with Oshae which was criminal. Now you have Quincy who is a physical specimen perfectly built to run some pick and roll. We don't need 20 passes to be a good half court offense. Just a couple with good fundamental screening action. Overload shooters to give the driver options and let the roll man create option B.

Watching Oregon /Memphis last night, both teams have some shooters but also just a bunch of athletes. Both teams did a nice job using basic PNR offense and good screening to generate offense in the half court. It was basic stuff.
