Message: [QUOTE="kobebeanbryant, post: 4796152, member: 508"] One thing we seem to lack is perimeter quickness on offense. Having someone who can get by their defender off the dribble. Newton is able to get to the rim, but even he seems to use his size and shiftiness as opposed to quickness to “turn the corner”. There were a handful of possessions where Texas locked us up on the perimeter and multiple guys had a hard time even getting a clean pass off nevermind getting by their man. Ended up leading to tough shots. We made a few (mainly Karaban) but wouldn’t want to get in the habit of counting on those. Diarra and Ball are both quick guards and are capable on defense, but Diarra is limited on offense and Ball doesn’t have enough confidence in that part of his game yet. Getting Castle back will help a lot against pesky perimeter defensive opponents. [/QUOTE]
