[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 406077, member: 1776"] Taking them when you can't make then, still doesn't open up the inside any more than if you don't take them at all. Teams refused to guard him because they felt he could not make them, so they simply played off him. That is why it was so difficult to get good shots inside, they simply used Moses' man to clog up the middle. Him taking threes had zero positive effect in remedying the offense and actually made it worse because now you are reinforcing a bad habit. I would have had him take a dribble or two and then shoot. I'd rather take a shot he might have had a 20-25% chance of hitting than one he had about a 5% chance. If he did that the defense might actually come out a little to meet him, which would have helped open the baseline some. Frankly the staff was stuck with no good options. In a best case scenario you would have run Moses as a cutter but his man was already standing in the paint. i still fail to see how him taking threes helped the offense. If opponents would guard him even a little then yes it would, but they didn't, they literally ignored him. I do agree with you about Alston by the way, they needed him to be more aggressive and he was not. Funny, as Ben got more healthy i still would have been tempted to play AD more than they did. To me it felt like the staff basically decided to throw in the towel and just get as much playing time for Moses and Evan as they could - which given they weren't going anywhere is a legit decision to make if you want to. As Ben started making more jumpers it would have opened up the inside a little more for AD. i wouldn't have played Ben and AD together all the time, but I might have done it for 10-15 mpg as a change up. I understand the rationale behind the idea they needed him to take those shots due to the offensive structure, I just disagree with that rationale. And that is ok. You pegged the one thing that really would have helped though. They really needed Brandon to step up and take threes, he simply wasn't comfortable doing that which was a disappointment. If Brandon had stepped up there then Moses could have been utilized as a cutter more. [/QUOTE]
