Message: [QUOTE="Excalibur, post: 4530070, member: 62"] Andre's percentage on threes where he hesitates, puts the ball on the floor, and shoots it because he feels like he has to is probably zero. When he catches in rhythm he's probably closer to 35%, which is more than acceptable. The difference in the offense comes down to one thing -- a commitment to attacking the basket off the dribble. You see it with Newton, Hawkins, and even Karaban and Sanogo (who has done it from the high post and top of the key). During the losing streak, the ball stuck on the perimeter while the defense either switched on all of our off-ball screen action or sagged so far off Jackson that it disrupted that action. We were left to try to force the ball in to Sanogo in the post. All of that changed when we started getting to the basket again. It disrupts the defense, the ball starts moving more crisply, and Sanogo gets easier looks off of that disruption. [/QUOTE]
