The pace of play is a bigger problem than the efficiency of the offense. I know it looks like we weren't great on offense from 11-14 compared to 2010, but that was more because of the pace of play than anything else. I know the last two years we have been rather average on offense, but the other years we were actually rather efficient. Part of the issue is teams attack the zone rather late in the clock, and part of that is our passive defense that waits for things to happen.  We have stopped running like we used to.

Part of that is the lack of development at the point guard position. Our four best players are either wing forwards or two guards. We have always had a pg be one of our best players. Joseph being a bust has killed us. There is no way around it. I think Cooney, Mal, and Gbinije would all be better suited having a legit pg get the ball to them in good scoring position. We were lucky that we didn't miss on pg's for years with the exception of Josh Wright. From Gmac to Ennis he is the only pg we missed on. The sanctions, coupled with poor play from Joseph has killed us on the offensive end of the court.
