If JB had played BJ, Roberson, and Patterson, maybe that would have fixed the offensive problem.

And if the queen had balls, she'd be the king.

They.
Weren't.
Ready.

It sucks that last year's team had a lot of the pieces in place to be good, but was missing a few critical elements and so lacking in experience.  But the reality is that the offensive problem was a continuation of the preceding season, where we were also anemic offensively--and then lost three of our four top scorers--all of whom were three point threats.  But throwing shi- against the wall to see what sticks doesn't change the fact that BJ Johnson, at 170 pounds last year, probably wasn't physically equipped to paly major minutes, that last year's frosh were all one year away, that Cooney was so inconsistent, that Patterson wasn't a backup point guard, etc.

That your preference would have been for JB to give those players run to see if they could rectify the offensive problems doesn't mean that last year's frosh, at that point on their respective developmental curves, were equipped to do so.
