I do expect better 3 point shooting from Vital, Jalen and Gilbert if Hurley can get them cleaner shots with a better offense, but this business of the summer miracle transformation... don’t count on it.
I think you and the board have it backwards .
The problem last year wasn’t the offense didn’y Get us open shots.
It was poor shooting limited what offense you could run,
Hurley believes that problem is fixable with harder work . I think he has the basic talent available.
Forgot Gilbert his output is gravy as of now.
Improvement in shooting of
Adams
Polley
Vital
Wilson
or even Whaley
Diarra
If they want to see the floor.
Allows him to run any offense he wants
Because the defense has to get stretched out to accommodate the shooters. Without a clogged middle entry passes to our five even are likely.
Basketball is all about space Even the the high pick and roll purpose is to create space for the shooter but picking against a packed D’s is difficult
Becsusev there is a always another guy there to pick up the shooter.
It’s not a chicken vs egg thing
You hav to establish your ability to shoot as primary.
My first lesson given me by one of the great Connecticut High School coach’s was my observation that a teams PG usually scored the first couple of baskets even though he seldom shot again. He told me “That was simply to let the other team know that you better guard me “
. Once you establish your ability to knock down shots you open the game up for a great player like JA.
Then the game becomes a thing of beauty.
