Message: [QUOTE="CuseMan4, post: 3635966, member: 5564"] 1) we’ll be fine. It was obvious we missed Buddy and Sidibe. We are missing 2 starters and we still went 9-10 deep, when was the last time JB did that 2) we were over matched on the boards today. Rutgers was a lot bigger than us, something Sidibe does well and will help once he’s back. 3) our 3’s were off today, percentage was low, something Buddy will help when he gets back 4) Girard’s minutes will be cut a bunch once Buddy comes back. Kadary and Boeheimshould be the starting backcourt, it’s quite obvious at this point. Now some other things. We will get better as the season progresses. Our defense is still learning but it’s getting better. JG3 most likely won’t be playing as much so we’ll have size in Buddy and Kadary at the top so people can’t just shoot over us which happened multiple times with JG3. Griffin is still learning the zone, he got lost MULTIPLE times and got turned multiple times, he was chasing a lot tonight. Our offense is out of sync too much, we have players hunting their own shot too much. Griffin and JG3 come to mind. We need a better flow, to be honest this offense needs to go through Richmond and Dolezaj. Good things happen when they have the ball, they are our best playmakers and decision makers. Lastly, we don’t have a real “dog”, or “star” on this team yet. We have a lot of Role Players that do one thing extremely well or a bunch of things well but not great. We need that one guy that is that “go to” guy like an Elijah last year. To be straight up honest with you I think that guy needs to be Kadary or Griffin. Dolezaj has the potential but I don’t know if he will ever assert himself to be that guy. I think by the end of the season Kadary will be our best player hands down. Give him the rock and let others play off him. All of things are correctable and I think JB will figure it out. This is one of our better and deeper teams we’ve had in a while. I like where it’s going just need to work on a few things. [/QUOTE]
