...where we struggle to have a consistent offense.
We failed to get out in transition and I didn't understand why we kept running the same half court set yesterday, giving Carlton the ball 25 feet from the basket, handing it off to Akok / Polley , passing to CV/ AG who then lobbed a pass back to Carlton at the free throw line (which kept getting stolen). We ran that like 10 times and not sure any resulted in a baskets and most ended in a turnover. Our half court offense remains terrible and at this point regardless who is on the floor (old blood or new blood) that won't be changing any time soon. There will be plenty of turnovers and lots of missed shots against power conference caliber teams.
With that said, I would love to see more lineups with Akok, Sid and Bouk in it. Yes, the half court offense would still be stagnant, but that is a unit who can get out and run and put up points in transition. Until Akok and Bouk, our 2 most talented players, can get comfortable creating their own offense I'm not sure things will get much better offensively this season. Sid will probably never be an offensive weapon, but I'd give up the shooting ability of Polly at the 3 to have a spark plug guy who can leap and get some boards / push the tempo up the floor.
But hey, I'm probably wrong.
