Penetrate opposing defenses and create open space for Lydon.
Get Roberson's head back in this season.
Stick with Frank, for the zone's sake.
Get Battle more playing time at the 2. Could help the dynamics of our offense, and he's surely better atop the zone than white.
Stop passing to White on an island to make him force bad shots.
Better stretch defense to the perimeter by our forwards to limit wide open 3 opportunities.
Did I mention get Roberson back?
This teams not going to put up 85 points a game but we have the length to potentially have a very stout zone if they can 'click' in time.
We beat G Town and Uconn if Roberson played even marginally OK. I think he's the key to this team clicking on offense. Just a shame that he seems to be in his own head and I doubt JB is helping much. We need to win the boards and bang downlow.
This teams tournament bound if it has Lydon/Thompson/Roberson/Coleman all as legitimate downlow threats. Unfortunately, in my opinion, they're working to about 60% efficiency of that right now, and it's not even close to cutting it.
This team's not nearly as hopeless as 90% of posters on this forum make them out to be. As annoying as some of you may find some of my posts, I find all the bs about the CBI and how this teams the worst in 20+ years far more annoying. This teams playing bad basketball right now. But guess what? We have 4 of our 7-8 go to players completely new to our system. It's going to take time for these guys to click as a unit. I think we have the athleticism and talent but JB's teams and dynamic are very systematic. We are going to look awful until they can effectively run the zone, which in itself creates transition and helps the offense when ran efficiently. It takes time. Seasons aren't lost for us in December.
