Message: [QUOTE="oTTo113445, post: 3721305, member: 7558"] 80% of this team's problems stem down to no true pf and center right now. Got to score when Griff and Guerrier are back there together or lose. Another 15% is Inside out ball shouldn't be nonexistant as a matter of Guerrier being stuffed. Would love to see us try Q finding a cutting Kadary off a motion screen. Need Ajax to play the 4, and Brass to run some backdoor motion cuts to the basket for roughly 15-20 mpg, instead of 4mpg. Focus extra hard on both getting some inside position and Going up strong over their man, every day in practice. Try going up immediately after offensive boards with no thought of getting blocked. Who knows maybe we find a little Warrick in Brass and Roberson in Bull. Woody is not ready to bump inside yet. Even if he hits outside shots it still won't take the pressure off Guerrier, unless the smaller bigs can't guard him. The problem with Dolezaj at the 4 is, teams know to play him tight so he won't dribble out of the high post. Since he can't post up at the 4 or pound the offensive boards, it's a below-par on both ends without a faceup jumper. Just put the tougher taller defender on Guerrier. Griff's tip-ins against taller opponents tend to be a bit erratic at times. Cant go 6'5 6'7, just not strong or big enough. Need to be 6'7 6'9 for a solid 20. Were already 25-40 pounds underweight at center, can't go 2 inches shorter at pf and sf at the same time. Case and point. Take melo and Warrick as an example. Rick Jackson and Wes. Fair and Roberson, Joseph, Southerland. Grant and Fair. Malichi at 6'6 had a 225 pound lydon and a 6'9 board eater as well. Dolez and Sidibe should split 20 at the 5, and Dolez shouldn't be playing more than 10 at the 4. Heck even edwards with Ajax for a few with Guerrier pounding it in. Those 3 should pound the hell out of the offensive boards together, with kadary and buddy driving. I know we are worried about him getting back on defense, but Eddy should be near a weak man's chuckwu on the Off boards at the least with Kadary and Ajax getting back. Go old school, throw out the best players getting 30 plus in our backline. Our 3 Guards are not the issue, 4 SF's, are; IMO. It is legal to have two bigs in the low post at once for 15 minutes. Lack of extra hungry hustle is a bigger problem than our turnovers outside of Griff and Kadary. Some games 2 or 3 guys give 0% extra effort. At least give it 30%. Buddy,Griff,Guerrier, don't always have to play more than 27 minutes for the sole reason, their backups are as good. [/QUOTE]
