i think some of the strategy in ooc has been with conference play in mind. building the team for that. but at 5-4 now I think a lot of it has also just been trying to keep heads above water. JB actually thinks this isolation heavy offensive approach that hes used (forever :rolleyes: ) gives the team the best chances of winning. wrongly, imo.

Against the good teams, Buddy has really laid a huge egg this early part of the season, imo. of all the regulars he has the lowest shooting percentage on the team [I]and takes the most shots[/I]. 37% from the field and 25% from 3 is not gonna cut it (and those numbers are fluffed up by the colgate drexel and lafayette games where he shot above his seasons averages). generally a basketball team wants its highest pecentage shooters shooting the most shots not vice versa fwiw.

Since it is so clear that JB built this team with his boys in mind (and especially the non-existent bench)...I wonder if part of the iso ball is because he knows that is what players need to be able to do to make it in the NBA...maybe he is just trying to maximize buddys nba hopes. perhaps this season is just extended prep for buddys nba tryout.
