1. the pentrators on the team are good finishers and thats how they get their points. if they can get all the way to the hoop, which they often can, why pass?? having them dribble to create takes away their scoring, potentially. plus they arent natural dishers on the drive...yeah they [I]could drive to pass [/I]but they arent and don't.

when they drive I want them to try and score...but yeah they need to get better at driving and assisting

2. will need to develop some strategy against zone. pitt's worked pretty well imo and the team resorted to chucking bad shots/turnovers etc...and that will need to mean getting open 3s.  When SU plays zone...opponents get open 3s easily...so whats stopping the Orange from doing so as well?

3. with the playmakers and pentetrators...they should be able to exploit that for easy buckets...much more than they have...although they are getting better in this regard. as the offense evolves, taking better advantage of mismatches needs to be more prominent.  there will be a lot with all of the options.

4. pick and roll should be lethal with this squad and they use it some but not enough...I guess partially because the guards could be better shooters. and the rollers could be more dangerous. but regardless it should be more of an option.

5. quick passing and set plays are the two ways I see them able to generate open 3s for Taylor, Bell etc...want to see it more
