To much empahsis on point guard not enough on Ball movement.

One example. KJO was our PG in 09-10. You can argue SG, but he drove and either scored got to the line or passed in isolation off it.

A good example was when KJO, Triche Southerland Dion were all giving up open shots off of shot fakes and then Triche or Southerland knocked down the three after they passed it around the perimeter 5 times against EMU.

[B]Ball movement creating spots is everything. Efficient scoring is everything. Not turning the ball over is everything. If you have those three then you don't even need a PG to be Number one[/B].

Scoop played excellent because Fab stepped up. [B]If Fab hadn't stepped up [/B]while KJO and Triche were being guarded tight then we would have been in a hole against Florida.

Something else you have to realize about this team. We aren't running scoring sets out of the high post.  Even passing out of the high post is pretty rare for us. That means perimeter passes and passes back out to the perimeter are longer and that can be dangerous.

[B]What this team needs IMO is scoring efficiency in Triangles and hopefully in quadralaterals by March. That is how you frustrate defenses[/B]. One positive about this team they don't get frustrated. Dion will get his moment. Little reason to play anyone but scoop at point against smaller PG's like EMU and Florida had. The perfect games for Scoop to shine.

Its like I said Scoop has to create offense without a high post/ perimeter pass 95% of the time. That what makes the difference from someone like Josh Wright and Billy Edelin or Jonny Flynn.
