See, some of these things are teachable.  I think MacLeod could be a guy who gets you 8 points, a handful of rebounds and blocks, if you played him 15-20 minutes and let him work through his mistakes against guys who are more his own size.  Nobody can defend the lob to him, if the pass is on the money.  Use that more, not once or twice, and then never again for the whole game.

You can't say that MacLeod can't do it if you really don't give him the ball.

Right, Judah, Benny and Copeland do not look like guys who are receptive to coaching, or else Red is just trying to let them play naturally to let them get comfortable before he starts instilling more offensive structure to what they do.

Right now, I just don't see a functional offense, and obvious things are not being done - at least not yet.  You need to put motion and screens into this offense. They used to say that Boeheim put players in the position where they can contribute.

I've had my say about "pass & move" and don't want to just repeat myself.  But they have to start doing something more structured than what they are trying to do right now.  It's too one on one, and it's too many shots too early in the clock; not good shots at all.

He gets a mulligan until January, but by then if it still looks like this, that's a problem.
