Teams have us on tape now. They see who will shoot and who will not and we have not adjusted. We have too many non-shooters on the floor to play in a half court.
Last night Hall seemed to be using a one man press on Newton and he was unable to to cleanly bring the ball up. Expect this from every team going forward as it’s very effective.
One thing which concerned me, was if Newton made a good move and started to get around a defender or was even at the hips, many times he would slow down and allow the defender to get back in front of him. We need to push the ball simply becuase what we are doing in the half court is not working. Bringing the ball up takes 7-10 off the clock, another 3-5 trying to get the ball inside, and then Sanogo takes a long time.
Newton needs to play a bit faster, take what they give him, and get to the basket more. The flashing was mostly effective, the sloppy passing was not.
