If this team can't solve driving and scoring in the paint as part of the half court offensive set, then it's going to be a long season.

There's only so many games where you can control the game in transition or shoot lights out from three...

Without points in rhe paint, the offense is too one dimensional and the fouls that come with drives in the paint will continue to be down as will FT attempts. That's the obvious hole in Brisset's game right now... He doesn't need to score on every drive to basket by any stretch, but the fouls and FT's that come with those drives is something we desperately need. To some degree, the same can be saod for Hughes and Battle... They both need more drives in the paint as well. It's the key to opening up looks on the perimeter as well.

I do think that Frank getting back to Frank should pick the lock on some of this... When he's on, his drives and backouts tend to get the other slashers cutting in more aggressively and his passing finds open players. Carey doesn't have that yet and tries to force it too much when it's not there.
