One problem I think is that this isn’t a very well constructed team. I know it is fashionable now to have lots of interchangeable pieces. Villanova won a couple of titles that way so now everyone thinks they can copy.   But my view is that we lack bigs and muscle inside. Vital is our best rebounder for heavens sake. We have too many wing/guard types. And we lack true guards.   Finally the wing/guards don’t have the right game for the interchangeable player model. Critical to that model is the ability to take and hit 3s. None of Wilson, Bouknight or Adams does it effectively. Vital is the best but is too undisciplined.  Polley was the best but was pretty streaky and he was more of a true wing not the hybrid.  We are trying to use Akok as a 2 but it is not really a match for his skill set. He is a shot blocker, close to the basket guy but there really isn’t anyone else to play the 2, which is sort of like the fullback in football right now... a position that is becoming obsolete.
