Message: [QUOTE="007, post: 1988724, member: 393"] I'm with you here. Lydon, White, Battle, Gillon, TT, and FH (assist, dribble penetration, not scoring) are all skilled offensive players. Not NBA skilled, but certainly skilled relative to college. But, the whole has not equalled the sum of the parts. Part of the problem is this is not a particularly athletic team, IMO. Robby and Battle are very athletic; FH, TT and Gillon would be on the next tier, and the rest of the team is... something less. So, when we play play fast, athletic teams, some of the offensive skill sets are neutralized. Another issue - we have not yet seen a player with that confident, aggressive, give me the ball, "alpha" mentality. DC showed flashes of that tonight, and White is willing to keep shooting. Unfortunately, we seem to have more passive types (so far) who seem to lack confidence. There is a lot of ball left to play, and JB has found a way many times before with less talent. [/QUOTE]
