[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 387396, member: 2299"] I think it's a combination of things. It makes no sense to have AD drift around the perimeter like we were having him do most of the time before. We could have gone to a high post low post game with Ben at the Foul line and elbows and Gueye bouncing between blocks, but I think the idea is that would clog the middle a bit too much considering how Okogie, Jackson, and Jose play. We want lanes open not just to cut but also to drive. I imagine if we had more pure shooters we'd see more of that but with the way our team is set up it makes sense. I also think there is an idea that we have to have Ben be more of a scorer this year and less of a distributor. Even with Gueye in the post I don't expect him to score much, and having Ben get good looks from the elbow means he's much more likely to be in rhythm which would give us at least 3 guys that we can rely on to give us ~12-15 nightly. It takes pressure off Ben which is good for two reasons. One, he's been pressing and IMO it's affecting him. Secondly we need to start transitioning to having Jose run the show. A guy like Ben who you can run an entire offense through at the high post is rare and we won't have him next year. Really need to start grooming Jose to not just be a starting pg but being the PG of the team, if that makes sense. It'll take some time for guys to adjust but I think it's best for the longterm good of the program, and sense the alternative wasn't working there's no real downside imo. [/QUOTE]
