We only have 1 player this year, Tyus, who attacks the basket with any type of efficiency. We make feint dribbles toward the basket, don’t get penetration nor aggressively attack, then resort to just passing it horizontally around the perimeter for a 3. We lack any real physicality in the paint. Our power forward, Oshae, doesn’t play with any power. Our centers are stick thin, playing with their hands down on both offense & defense. Hughes is a guard playing forward , Marek is a small forward who doesn’t look for his offense, who is playing center more than half the time on the court. With no one willing or able to post up inside and hold position, we lack any inside-outside game to make defenses work hard to cover us. This year we don’t have an elite defense to save us enough to overcome our weaknesses offensively and on the boards. The best teams are better than the sum of their individual parts, this team is lacking that crucial intangible to date.
