Thought with the way things are going we would have a thread where we bounce ideas/theories off one another. What's wrong and how can we fix this.
My first thought is this. Why when we get one injury everything goes to hell. Other teams have injuries but seem to find a way to get thru. So let's look back. Mo goes down. We have no point guard. Martin goes down. We have no big guys (redshirt had to be pulled) Jefferson goes down. We have no one to take his place.
Instead of us saying-" ok let's try Martin at the four n Sam at the five "we never considerate it Not sure it would work but our answer is always four , guards, two point guards etc. I mean why can't we say "Jefferson out. Ok Bishops his back up so he starts". Instead we have NO back up for DJ. Our response is let's go small Because of let it fly we never recruit a 6-8 guy who's a good defender, bangs the boards. If a guy can't shoot 3's he can't play for us.
This isn't breaking news --we have a junk offense. If we make enough threes we win. If not we have no other way to win.
Plus the type of players we recruit for let it fly--are we incapable to have that player who can also defend?? If we get one we are lucky.
I get we are young. But even if these guy mature and grow as players-- with this style not sure that we won't always have to hit tons of shots and hope some guy on the other team has an off night.
There is my rant. Let's hear yours.
