There are 4 PGs in the ACC shooting free throws over 80%

Damn I was more than ready to trade off getting blown out by UVA for a UGA loss. Can't catch a freakin break :LOL:

Shouldn’t have surprised him as they did it from the start of the game. But it did. We never adjusted to that aggressive hedge. Their defense scored more points off that handoff than we did

You forgot to add the -8 in steals and even -2 in blocks

FWIW Devion is a plus defender. Having a PG who isn't going to get broken down every play is a requirement to be a good defensive man team. He also can hit the pull up jumper at the foul line which is often available in this offense. It was one of the flashes of potential I saw in him last...

By that definition there are only 10 players in the ACC who are not below average shooters

Connell - do you have a feel/idea why Josh stayed with this offense when it had to be obvious to him and the other coaches that we didn't have that skilled 5 in preseason practices? I do take your point about NIL. We need to be in the half mil range to be a middle of the pack ACC team (+/-).

Bennet isn't going to do much differently than UNC did against our offense. Trail the guard up the lane on the downscreen, be in position to guard the drive from the top of the key and don't help off the ball side shooter. They are big enough to deal with our guards if/when they drive. In...

What facilities do we need? McTIT and practice facility seem fine? NIL is a couple mil per year and coaching staff is what $6 to $8 mil if we get a legit P5 guy?

Yea if we tried to run a 5 out with Griffin or Howard I would start laughing. Nothing like having a defender totally unoccupied ;) I don’t remember us running a “classic” 4 out but happy to yield to your superior memory. Mine sucks :cry:

I actually don’t argue with you at all. Allow me a bit of frustration on my part for what I see as an obvious issue I do hope Batt is saying these results are not acceptable and an obvious major issue for this team is offensive production.

The primary move in our Princeton is a dribble by the 5 to a downscreen hand off for the guard to get the ball at or around the foul line / top of the key. Teams simply go under the screen and trail the guard up high. The defensive big isn't worried about our 5 and allows room for the...

It is not top of the ACC talent for sure but I don't get 3-5 win target. For instance the recruit we have for next year is Blue Cain - he is a 4 star and #97 recruit. I don't expect he comes in and scores double digits first year but he should be a solid ACC level player. Players in this...

The playmaker talent we do have on this team is on the wings and PG. The obvious weakness on this team is in the post. We don't have a real 4 (stretch or classic) so the 4 has essentially become another wing. So instead of running an offense through our strength we make the weakest part of...

FWIW NIL is not a major issue in recruiting in the 100 - 150 range. Have to have some but nothing major. That should be where we are recruiting and a legit coach should ba able to get enough support into the collective to operate at that level

Top 20 is generally a Burger Boy The goal of Get Old Stay Old is to have a pipeline of high 3 star, low 4 star guys in development a year or two while they wait their turn to move into the starting lineup ready to go. That target is generally top 100 to 150 (just to make Root happy :) ). Top...

If we are indeed executing the "get old stay old" strategy then our sweet spot should be around the top 100 or so - not the top 25 who are totally focused on the NBA. Top 100 kid can well develop into an NBA player but also has to have a secondary plan for post college without BB. GT should be...

UGA bullied ND in the paint. Will be interesting to see if we can do the same.

I'll take a shot at this for discussion. Combination of 3 things to me: I think the primary issue is Howard and to a lesser extent Franklin are not really looking for the back door cut. Howard in particular is focused/worried about making the next move to hand the ball off - I don't see him...

Yes. Injured leg
