Message: [QUOTE="dennismenace, post: 4132147, member: 6158"] This is constant reminder that we don't have a real point guard except Diggins on this team. He (PG) is really the coach/leader on the floor. His job is to size up what's going on on the floor and try to direct the action except when the coach has otherwise told him what to do. This is a leadership issue. That spills over into the matter of responsibility. We are asking guys (combo guards Cole, Gaffney and Hawkins) to some how cover this and be a 2. Same thing with Andre Jackson being a "point forward" reminiscent of Dan Hamilton. I don't see how this can be resolved because I don't see the [B]stability [/B]of someone in charge of analysis/distribution first as a primary function. We seem to have a lot of talented moving parts but we have few who can make their own shots off the dribble so this gets further compounded. It comes down to an efficient and coherent offense which takes advantage of weaknesses of opponents and strengths of our offense. I guess I am just reiterating what others have said in one form or another in many discussions. But I see what they are saying. The opponents see this and you can expect them to attack it accordingly. We really don't have much of an offensive scheme and until recently we weren't really a running team. When Sanogo comes back we will return to slower paced game. Problem not being addressed. I do recommend we get Diggins into the lineup in an increasing fashion. It's not too late to get another ballhandler in the lineup who is the heir apparent to point guard. [/QUOTE]
