We are running an offense designed for a single dominant player when we don't have a single dominant player.  That doesn't mean we don't have offensive weapons, we just don't have a player like Kemba or Donyell or Rudy or Caron that can beat the other team 1-on-5 when he needs to.  My point is that offenses that depend on that kind of player are archaic in modern basketball.

I think you meant that Polley can only shoot in catch-and-shoot situations, since that is all he does.  I think Vital is an excellent catch and shoot shooter.  Akok and Bouk can catch-and-shoot 3's.  We got enough shooters, we just need to run an offense to get them inside-out shots.  I would run screen and rolls with Josh all day, not to get Josh the ball, but to collapse the defense for kickouts.  I would also post up Carlton, because he is actually very good at sealing his defender.  Post him up and use him to reverse the ball to weakside shooters.  When the defense stops helping down low, now you have Carlton  1-on-1 inside, where he can be effective.

Hurley has to play the hand he is dealt.
