I think between Gbinije, Cooney, Malachi, Roberson, Joseph, Howard and  Lydon we have the dribble guys, height, and shooters to move the ball around for quick backdoor baskets With Coleman and Obokoh giving screens.

Motion could benefit this team much more then any team in the past 15 years we just don't have anyone to finish strong at the rim with a defender in between it. Gbinije averaged 3.3 foul shots per game last year that is not a drivers numbers. Roberson and Lydon have the best shot at being that but Roberson has not brought the ball to basket strong and misses the soft move layup so far. If we had even one guy that could do it thusfar,  he would have been forcing it alot early on because our shooters would have opened driving lanes for him.

It also could open us up more for the offensive boards off threes for guys like Lydon and get the occasional guy inside position on the offensive end to box out to rebound the long threes.

I know we like to run the pro style offenses and show we are a team that forces mismatches but we just don't have that this year. No true isolation guys outside Gbinije. Although Cooney showed some last year and Malachi has shown flashes. I see nothing wrong with working harder in the halfcourt for one year as opposed to exploiting mismatches especially if Cooney G can give us 30 solid minutes uptop together doing so. We are pretty much all set for next year anyway until we get a few of those scholorships back off a rediculously overblown penalty of which Diagne was the first part of.
