There's a lot of things, but I feel like we play with little to no urgency on offense. We get the ball over half court, our PG dribbles around waiting for a high screen that comes slowly. Defense reacts. PG tries to penetrate or instead weaves w/ either the 2G or the SF. That player gets a handoff. Pump fakes, jab step, pump fakes. Then they either take a contested jump shot, drive into 3 people, or wait to get a bail out pass to someone else. I swear that is our offense 80% of the time. There's no urgency, there's no quick motion, there's no quick ball movement. Everything takes place 25 feet from the hoop. Watch Kansas or Okla or any "good" team. The ball moves quickly, the screens are set with purpose, and players move with precision and cut hard. We don't do that. There's lots of standing around waiting for someone to make a play. Some will say this is a "pro-set" but I call it trash. Our offense basically depends on someone shooting well from 3 to keep us in it. Last game it was Miller and Gibbs the previous game it was Gibbs carrying us with contested 3's late in the game. We do not have a great breakdown player like Bazz, Boat, or Kemba to just bail us out every possession but it seems KO's offense is providing that opportunity. Unfortunately, giving DHam free rein to be that guy often results in poor shot selection and bail out jump passes late in the clock.
