[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 864048, member: 2299"] The 1,3 and 5 are the biggest issues on the team, largely because our two best players are at the 2 and 4 spots. That's not really an all that insightful take. Losing sucks, but the biggest frustration to me at this point is that we're not even using this year as a development year. We tried to hide our PGs by running the offense through a big in the high post instead. However, instead of just committing to that and playing Saba, who has a skill set to compliment that role, we ran primarily with Howard who doesn't. So Howard isn't really developing on the offensive end (in a way that fits his skills) and our PGs aren't developing because they are more acting like off ball guards than creators. Then it looks like the staff looked at the BC game and thought we won that game because we went tiny when in reality we won despite going tiny, and that was because of a shooting night from one player that we just can't rely on at this point (not a shot at Maxwell, I think he'll be a good player, but he isn't going to be hitting 7 of 11 reliably). What we needed for this year to be successful was for one of either Sturdy/Smith to develop into a starting caliber PG and for Howard/Saba to develop into a solid big man rotation. We also needed Moore or Coleman/Kelly/Maxwell to develop some offensive threat out of the three spot. We have done the latter to a decent degree in a bit of a committee approach which has some upsides and downsides. However we didn't develop either our bigs or our PGs that way we needed to and I feel the staff slow played them instead of just throwing them to the fire and letting them adjust. [/QUOTE]
