Why would it take that long
Lol, Rick P fixing penetration issues got Louisville in a lot of trouble.Hire Ricky P midseason. Fix the penetration issues at the top of the zone, and this team has Round of 32 written all over it.
Just kidding; RP would probably institute a style of play that actually fits the roster.
There he is!Play Kadary 98 minutes. Cut Joe. Bring in a 240 pound big man with Tim Duncan’s post moves for the 2nd semester. Fire Boeheim and bring in a coach who wants to come to Syracuse and also is somehow elite. Play m2m exclusively.
Kadary, Griff, woody, Q, Marek. Buddy at the 15 minute timeout and joe around 9.
Marek at the 5 on defense is a huge problem. Might be the biggest problem we have. It’s not talked about enough because people are mad about the PG situation. Teams are shooting 70% at the rim.I like this with a couple edits. Start Jesse and have Woody be the first sub.
I also would like to see JBA get a shot to keep a big man on the floor as much as possible.
The other thing is that it Marek is not driving the ball or being used in the high post then he should not play 40 mins. He is effective when he is aggressive offensively. Defensively as a 5 he is a poor rebounder and provides almost no resistance at the rim. As a 4 it's a completely different story as he can use his hustle and quickness coming in from the wing as a secondary defender.
I know Jesse and JBA have poor hands but they eat up space and that makes it harder for opponents to get clean looks, rebound and finish at the rim. We may give up a few more FTs but far fewer easy layups. Both Q, Marek and Griff are more effective with a space eater to play off of.

That said I see nothing from Edwards at all when he’s in. The few minutes he’s played this year he‘s showed No improvement and absolutely zero feel for the game. Center continues to be an issue as it has most of this decade.
6-7?!?! Like in addition to the 9 he already gets? Or you’re saying... the rebounds he currently gets at forward, would be divided between the other forwards while he plays center?To play Zone without a true center is clueless. Already giving up massive rebounding edges. Imo, Q would give us another 6-7 defensive rebounds per game at center if the foul trouble didn't knock him down to 20mpg. I don't see how Eddy and Bol can't rebound, but freshmen and sophomores at any other position can grab the ball.
The second one. We might get some boards at center that way.6-7?!?! Like in addition to the 9 he already gets? Or you’re saying... the rebounds he currently gets at forward, would be divided between the other forwards while he plays center?
He doesn’t really take up space though. He could because he’s definitely got long arms and some height. But it seems like he struggles getting his shoulders squared up a lot of the time. He’s often just shifted, or something. It’s weird.Yeah. My idea with Edwards is can we add a 7ft space eater to give us something even if it's just being a road block. I know that means we play 4 on 5 yet we definitely have experience doing that to some level of success. We are just giving up so much with Marek at the 5 and when he isn't aggressive on offense it becomes pointless.
He ded.Why would it take that long
WhatHe ded.
It's definitely more in his wheelhouse to cause penetration issues...Lol, Rick P fixing penetration issues got Louisville in a lot of trouble.
