Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 5186194, member: 175"] The thing with Cam - and Joey C before him - is they came off screens a major threat to shoot, and that got defenders rushing at them and opened up driving lanes and passes. We rarely use Mahaney that way and when he runs around screens, he’s often not looking to shoot. He’s looking to get the ball and start dribbling. So the defense isn't scrambling and is ready to play him straight up, making whatever he does next more difficult. That quick square up off the catch and shoot is an important part of our offense when we have shooters out there. You do all this work running sophisticated plays to get a shooter some daylight, they need to use it. Otherwise you might not get a look again. And when Mahaney is out there with Diarra or Ross, he’s got to think of himself as having a green light. [/QUOTE]
