Message: [QUOTE="Brooky03, post: 2441376"] We don't have low post scoring. Without that, an offense can't achieve balance. Chukwu will catch random dump-offs and get some putbacks, but he's not a low post threat. Nobody is. Brissett could probably develop a back-to-basket game, but that's not happening this season. Couple that with a lack of outside shooting and you're not left with much. In the halfcourt, the team's options are either to drive to the rim or pullup for a midrange shot. It's predictable and there's nothing they can really do to help that. The only offensive scheme that would be effective for this team is to run, run, run, run, run. Can't do that with such a short bench, though. So the other option is to try to hold teams to all-time low field goal percentages, keep the score in the 50's until we can pull out the trunk monkey press and hopefully hit a couple big shots to seal the win. It sucks but that's where we're at. [/QUOTE]
