I think Hurley hit the nail on the head with his comment on lack of playmakers and players that can break down the defense. This is the single biggest problem with the offense right now that trickles down to all other aspects of offense including FG%, assists, quality of 3 pt looks, and even free throws. Only Gilbert and sometimes Vital can do this against high level competition (Hopefully Bouk can grow to be more consistent in this area).

Hurley is well aware that Ollie recruited way too many one dimensional players who can do one thing well, but are not well rounded (i.e. Sid, Polley, etc.). We need a paradigm shift on that front and recruit players that more well rounded. Look at Nova, it seems like all of their players can handle the ball, pass, and shoot at a baseline level that is much higher than most teams. Likewise the Collin Gillespies and Payton Pritchards of the world are a good example that you don't always need to recruit freak athletes everywhere on the court. The high level BB IQ, shooting, ball handling, passing, and court vision they bring to the table really stands out.
