[QUOTE="YJMD, post: 390105, member: 1929"] Tadric's bonehead plays were a little more in the direction of risky than ill-advised this game. Glad CGB got some more minutes. Seemed a lot more lost on what to do (especially offensively). He can shoot the rock but needs to understand the offense a bit better to help himself and his teammates. Not sure I understood why we were playing the starting 5 or subbing with a small package with CGB & Tadric in and Alston and Gueye out. The idea of the small lineup might be to have more scoring threat in the game and theoretically get more open looks, but I don't think it is working. We need to be able to feed the post more and get guys in position down there so we can rotate the ball and free up the perimeter guys. The lineup I have wanted is the starting 5 replacing Alston with CGB. Really, CGB, Okogie, and Alvarado are each great at shooting the 3 when they get the ball in scoring position. None of them are aggressive at trying to put themselves in that position and get teammates to get them the ball. CGB doesn't do much else, and he shoots it when he's free, but even though he's got the shot, he doesn't drive defenders nuts trying to keep him from getting open. A lot of that is on the rest of the offense to feed the post and rotate the ball more aggressively. With Okogie, Alvarado, and Tadric, we've got the slashers. Each is a good enough finisher that they mostly try to score even without the numbers. Alvarado is better at passing off a drive, of course, but he's shuffling the ball out on the perimeter too much. He needs to probe the lane more to open things up. Like Steve Nash. Not necessarily attack the basket. Don't have to be in a hurry, but if no one is making you pick up the ball, move around and look for opportunities. Like a QB who looks off safeties. How about Gueye's man-to-man defense on a wing? Wow, didn't know he had that in him. I know he extends to the perimeter in the zone a lot. Theoretically his length is of good value in closeouts, but he is much weaker having to closeout on the perimeter than he showed (in very limited time) gluing himself to the defender. I know we are a zone-predominant team, and it's what made us who we are last year, but I think I like our defensive performance better when we're in man from what little I've seen. [/QUOTE]
