Yeah but because of the decent volume i thought he would be shooting it more. He seems hesitant to even look for a 3 in his offense. It seems like Hurley wants both him and Smith driving more and creating shots for other as we were missing this with last year's point guards.
Not even sure if it's confidence from Silas. Think he's just focused on running the offense and attacking the rim over taking 3s unless he's super open on a catch currently. He doesn't look to be forcing anything.
Agree on both. These guys are just starting their junior years and their contributions on defense will lead to offense. They are long and capable of playing well in transition. Got to have D. Non-negotiable. Dan Hurley has the depth to enforce that this year but so much better if everyone just works with the coaches and system. That's what turned the last two NC teams into juggernauts. Last nights game I saw Dan Hurley greet Solo when he came out. Coach seems to be looking for improvement, not perfection. Everyone on the same page. Great to see Ross improving every game. Potential of this team is staggering.
Dribble city by Smith and playing a long offensive clock are some of our current patterns. Seemed like a major effort to get the ball into Riebe early but that didn't work well in the first half. With more practice time now available we should see a better offense and timed to a 20 second shot clock. In the KS game we gave up the ball at least twice with shot clock violations.
Nice review and mental thoughts of several of our players that seem in tune with what happened on the sideline.
In the first half Reibe kept bringing the ball down to a level where ETAM could get their hooks onto it.
I would like to see them schedule a couple more mid level teams in the OOC, teams that would be in the top 50-100 or so range in NET/KenPom. Yale (although they are like 35 NET), Rhode Island/ St. Bonaventure/ Buffalo/Hofstra just to name a few. “Buy” games that we should still win, but they would be more competitive, like a 10-point win. I think the team would get more out of those than these typical cupcake games.
I hate when people comment harshly on our players.
I think we all like Stew and last night was what we're going to get. Games where he makes a difference and really shows his stuff, then games he just blends into the background. Last night I was sort of thinking he is like Tony Robertson in that way, Robertson had some of the most electric highlights and spurts I've ever seen in a Husky uniform....but he just never put it together consistently.
I hate stats. They make us rethink what we are watching as an aggregate. Andre and Karaban arent even close in their offensive games. Youre right.
You're making a ton of sense in this thread. F stats
Keep up. I was responding to a post that said we were not running our offense well. Open layups are a very good indicator our offense is working as designed.
He hasn’t even really been driving much though. Also I think Malachi has been setting up others well. It’s the best aspect of his game thus far.
Actually they were working on Andre’s form. However, the adjustments made did not have better results so therefore remained unfixed. I think most understood you the first time .
