Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3383428, member: 833"] Hurley is old school, playground style coach offensively. To let a team play that way, you need a couple of 1-on-1 shot makers. He tried to let Gilbert and Vital be those players, but they don't have the shot making skills, so we end up with a bunch of crazy, low percentage shots from them. Bouk is the closest thing we have to that kind of player, but he has a lot of work to do. Natural ability is a piece of being that kind of 20 ppg scorer in a1-on-1 offense, but there is a lot more to it. It isn't just taking 300 jump shots a day, it is taking 300 floaters a day, and 300 up and unders, and 300 stop and pops, and 300....it is a lot of work. Honestly, I think that style of play is from a different era. Defenses are too sophisticated today for teams to be efficient offensively playing that much 1-on-1 basketball. [/QUOTE]
