[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 762620, member: 2784"] This is what drove me nuts last night. When Moses played at the free throw line in the 4 out set, he started the offense with some sort of movement - often a ball screen to get the D moving. When we went to putting Moses on the block - probably to save his energy as he wasn't coming out - we went to an unbelievably static offense that was just whoever had the ball had to break down their guy with no one else moving. For a college team really easy to defend. And our guards are not uber athletic so counting on them to break down defenders one on one is not their strength. Devoe had way too many turnovers and bad drives last night but that was because we were requiring him to play one on one basketball - something he isn't really good at. GSU was more fit than we were and got out and ran for key buckets - almost all of our offense was against set defenses. And they didn't run complicated sets but they did run a nice wheel motion with a pick and role that got enough movement to make things difficult for us. There are a lot of things you can do out of a 4 out set to get movement and screens to initiate an offense. And IMHO our guards are very good but they are "crafty" type of guards who need help with offensive sets and not guys you say hey just go beat your guy. Devoe is and should be one of the top catch and shoot guys in the ACC - but that means you have to move the ball among several players to get the defense to help off of him and then kick to him. It would help immeasurably if someone else could step up as a 3 point shooter to keep the lane clear for Moses. I don't know when Maxwell will be back but the floor is open for him. All in all though last night was incredibly frustrating but not definitive about how this season will go. We showed significant improvement in the second half from the first half and GSU is a good team - one we should have beaten but still good. We simply need to incorporate some sort of movement/screens into the 4 out offense and CJP has to find a few more minutes on the bench so our guys are not playing "tired" at the end of the game.
