Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 5194231, member: 175"] The problem with saying he should stop shooting altogether, or that his shots should go to someone else is that there’s a defense out there. Nobody is just going to give open shots to everyone. They make choices on matchups and how to defend our actions. If Alex is not a threat, his man will help and take away the cuts and screen and rolls, or if there’s a situation where we have good ball movement and one defender has to decide whether to rush out on Alex open on the wing or deal with the next pass to Solo in the corner, he’s going to play the pass. We already have some players who are limited on offense, which Liam’s absence made more glaring. We need 3-4 scorers out there to make the type of offense we run effective. An AK who the defense can ignore just makes everything harder. If we run good stuff and AK pops open and just holds on to the ball and gives it up to someone else to face a set defense, it’s just wasted effort. Hoping AK gets a couple looks this weekend late in the shot clock when he has no choice. Sometimes you get out of your own head when you don't have to question whether you should shoot. [/QUOTE]
