Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3395060, member: 3535"] No. Basic basketball is NEVER to allow players who are as limited as triple threat (dribble, pass, shoot) as these two are and make them a focus of the offense. Further, they lost in part because other than Danger, MW and CW-- the others weren't good enough to pick up additional load. Regarding ft shooting -- Shaq O'Neal one year in 02-03 shot 62.2% from the FT line. He should've been at top of the key in the high post too? That's what ONO is shooting and what Aubrey isn't even shooting. It's a bad%. It's "more than enough" evidence to show us that they shouldn't be doing it. Think about it. They are WIDE OPEN - can take their time-- and they still shoot not very good. They shoot ft's at Shaq level. What happens during game time when they aren't wide open/ can't take their time during chaotic movement of play? They'll miss a lot. A lot. A lot. Noo - also - if the defense steps up - ONO can't dribble. They cant come close to doing what you think they can. ONO can't dribble hard. Aubrey doesn't see the floor well. Plus AUbrey can't shoot. We saw today she was scared to take an 8 footer. Look at her passing stats. They are terrible. Why are you ignroing the passing stats? And NO -- you're not talking "basic hoops" -- you are talking Kindergarten hoops in which you want everyone to play equally. That's not how competitive hoops is played. The two players you want to give the ball to more were 0-11 vs Baylor. Their combined assist to TO ratio combined isn't even 1-to-1. Danger was regarded as the #3 recruit in H/s, while Walker and CWill were number 1. Currently, overall they shoot the 3 ball better, they shoot free throws better, and their assist to ratio is over 1.3 to 1 vs ONO and Aubrey combined. SO if they pass and shoot better, how is it logical to not give them the ball more? They didn't get to be top ranked recruits mostly because of their defense while Aubrey and ONO did. That gun you are sticking to while you might think it is pointing outward, it's actually pointing inward. You're looking at things from the wrong direction. They all have to play better but the features on offense must come from Danger, CWill and MW. If they lose-- they just weren't good enough. [/QUOTE]
