[QUOTE="shakim3, post: 498763, member: 283"] I agree with most of this, but I think it's interesting that you note that our shot selection is bad. I actually think the opposite. I don't think we shoot enough *bad* shots. Meaning, we try to get the perfect shot almost every possession and that turns into a rushed drive to the rim. Devoe, Alvarado, and Alston are the only ones who have showed an ability to take on a defender one on one and drive (Shembari should be too), but the lanes are clogged when the team is stagnant or waiting for the perfect shot. I think the offense is fixed quite easily by taking more shots and cutting more to the rim. Because our defense is so good, we can afford to shoot volume with a lower percentage. If you noticed in our comeback, our shots were quicker, we ran in transition more, and our drives were more purposeful. So in a weird way, I kinda want to see more *bad* shots, which will stretch the defense and open up some more lanes. [/QUOTE]
