Absolutely atrocious. Literally every possession vs the zone consists of our guys just standing around and passing on the perimeter. Eventually, we end up shooting a low-percentage, rushed 3-pt attempt. Rinse, repeat.
Why is no one showing at the elbow!? Why are we not getting in the GAPS of the zone? Instead, we play into the strength of the zone by just passing around the perimeter.
If someone does get in the lane, do we take it to the rim? No... we kick it back out and wind up take a lower-percentage shot from 3.
Why is no one ATTACKING the rim with purpose!? Why is no one posting up down low in isolation and banging!? Even if it's not our best offensive option personnel-wise, we could draw fouls and get to the line. Play inside-out.
Where is KO's offensive mind? Everyone touts him for his NBA background. Where are those X's and O's? Draw something up for someone! This team is so out of sync offensively. No one looks confident. No one is playing with swagger. Everyone looks passive and scared. We turn the ball over.
The team has regressed since the beginning of the season. I remember being really confident going into the game vs Syracuse's zone because the team was ATTACKING and passing and moving crisply. I see none of that now.
I get its hard to win a game when Purvis and Hamilton combine for 3 for 23. But a lot of those shots were FORCED as a RESULT of the consistently poor offense. This team has deeper issues right now, and the lack of offensive flow is troubling.
