it comes down to scheme and running plays that fit his strengths and weaknesses

vs athletic teams hes not gonna shine "freestyling", it appears

how the pick and roll is ran matters...i think the way the pnr has been executed thus far is poor. they arent putting any pressure on defenses and they dont run it very often. i suppose having freeman out hurts the pnr but kyle and white should be able to execute.

do they even run the pnr with white?? if so i havent noticed

pnr has to be about attacking. making the defense make a tough decision then punishing it. the offense is just too passive thus far.

george can shoot and has to take his shot when hes open.

a lot of times thus far the team passes up a good look early in the clock only to force a tough shot when the clock runs down. if you have a good shot take it.

also, overall, i think the team can beneift from more interior passing and passing in the paint. the bigs are good passers and that usually leads to a wide open dunk or shot when a big makes a pass. would like to see more postups and then the post player either going up to shoot or passing to a teammate. also if you run the pnr a bit better george can find space in the lane where he can be devastating.

the offense is just so predictable and doesnt have enough variety. way too much standing around. the guys are good players so they get shots but it could be so much better.

the offense should make it a goal to make defending this team DIFFICULT

the curent offensive schemes make defending this team SUPER EASY
