We don't have anyone who can drive to the basket with any level of speed/quickness. No one who can get downhill to put stress on the opposing defense. Girard, Buddy, and Jimmy can all get near the basket with a lot of dribbles and some decent footwork, but none of that stresses the help-side or secondary defenders.

Buddy can always maneuver himself to get an 8-10 foot shot but he almost never passes off the dribble. Almost all of his assists come after he has determined the he can't take a shot that possession because either the primary defender has shut him off or he has dribbled himself into a double team. We have too many players who only pass when their original offensive move is completely shut off. Then it turns into the "pick up my dribble and look around desperately for someone to hopefully be open" game.

And how many times does Jimmy make a nice move (aka old man multiple YMCA pivot-foot moves) and get a shot off, only to have the shot swatted by a weakside defender that is just waiting to time his shot?
