All of this discussion and debate means mostly one thing.  There were LOTS of problems with the offense and only limited solutions.  I think it takes awhile and large sample size to probably get the scouting book on a team during a season and understand the trends/weaknesses to be able to effectively shut an offense down.

- Ennis was a constant.  I don't know how much he will score in the NBA or D-League but am fairly certain he can effectively run a pro-level team.
- Cooney wouldn't put it on the floor much and didn't pass except back to Ennis.  When he stopped making threes we were done. 
- Fair had a pretty effective mid-range game but couldn't really help the team in other ways such as passing or off the bounce.
- Grant was raw and a dunker.
- Rak/Baye don't score or get the ball. 
- Gbinjie was passive and uncomfortable.
- No bench

Very little upside with last year's team.  Sort of a miracle we were able to get away with it for so long and that Duke fool's gold game of no defense didn't help things.  This year the team I think has more potential scoring options and skill sets conducive to better offense.  I hope at least!
