The most urgent missing tool from the UCONN offensive kit is and remains a post player that is able to provide easy baskets and be more productive on the paint touches.  This has been a 3 years struggle and without such a player the UCONN offense has been relying  on almost perfect half court execution and getting streaky deep ball shooting.   Aaliyah struggles last year were typical-after shooting an astounding 69% as a freshman her FG% dropped off by significantly (down to 52%) and keep in mind this is from a player that rarely ever shoots from deep.   More productive paint touches can come in  three flavors 1) Less turnovers form the post players AE and ONO were the team leaders in TO last season 2) Shooting a higher FG percentage at the basket (this needs to be expanded beyond the post Players).   3) Having a player at the basket put you in better offensive rebounding position as has already been mentioned and  this floor balance does wonders for your defense efficiency as well.  For example, it is harder for a team to start transition if they are starting by taking the ball out of the net versus grabbing a rebound that is above the foul line.
