I think that is not correct. Akok who is a wing has been out. Jackson has been out. Bouknight is now out. Martin in theory is that kind of player. Sanogo is a 4/5 is playing. I’d guess the belief is or was that Gaffney is that kind of player. So I think he is recruiting and landing that kind of player.

So Polley is our best rim finisher? Who'd have thunked that?
5/8 on the year, next closest are Gaffney and Adams with 13 and 14 attempts. I'd imagine Polley's percentage is helped that he seems to get fouled any time he does drive into traffic
The point is, these guys were recruited and not just to finish at the time in transition he is recruiting that kind of player. Akok and Jackson haven’t played enough to draw any conclusions about.
My admittedly casual takeaway, is that Whaley needs to pull the trigger more on some of those open threes he has been passing on. He's shooting 44.4%, so he can make them.
Agreed, especially if he's playing with Sanogo for half his minutes. I think part of the reason the FG% at the rim is so low is teams crowd the paint against us. If they have to come out and respect Whaley's shot that opens more driving lanes for the guards who have really struggled at the rim
But only 12.5% of his shots are at the rim (it seems he almost never gets to the rim), so I don't know how representative of a sample this reflects. It is like a baseball player who hits 450 but has 10% of the at-bats of other players.
I think we have attempted 3 or 4 alley oops and all have ended up with passes out the back of the endzone!!
