...about how we can be more productive offensively. My two favorite 2 are that
1. Cooney needs more minutes
2. Rak needs more touches on the low block.
I think it's worth pointing out that Cooney is shooting under 33% and Rak has absolutely no post game. I would bet that never once has JB ever uttered the words "we need to get the ball to Rak in the post" or "man we need to get Trevor involved"
I think our most realistic path to improvement is simply taking better shots. We aren't suddenly going to have a post game. I was in the camp advocating that DC2 needed more minutes because he was our only hope of a post game, but really he never gave JB much reason to play him more and at this point with the injury that ship has sailed. We also aren't going to suddenly have a go-to scorer like Melo or, to a lesser extent, Dion. But we can play a little smarter, a little more aggressively, and a little more together. Given the landscape of college basketball who knows, maybe that is enough to make a run.
