He said players with complimentary offensive skill sets.  I took this two ways - first, our recruiting lately feels more system oriented than ever before - going after long players who will make our zone tough.  We had one guy who was a 'deep threat' this year.  That's just not enough in college hoops today.  Who did JB expect would be able to shoot the threes besides Cooney?  Clearly based on results he told Grant to stop or face sitting down.  We need at least 2 guys who can regularly make 3 point shots, and one of those guys should be a small forward guy to go with the shooting guard. 
 
Secondly, and I think this is probably more to your point (and you make some valid arguments), you have to have guys whose offensive game works together.  A big who has a couple moves in the post but can kick out as well.  A forward who can drive effectively but also looks for others when he is doubled.  But when you have three guys whose main weapon is driving, and two big men who aren't smart enough to clear the lane for them, offensive troubles are to be expected.
