Diarra is one of the bright spots since Liam has gone down.

I sometimes view basketball - simple analysis.

At the last game, until the 2nd half, I see Samson Johnson sitting at the FT line, camping out, setting screens 20 ft away from the basket. Most of them moving screens…

I see Mahaney comfortable dishing the ball but appearing to not want it back. He runs around, hucks up a shot here or there…

That leaves 3 on 5.

Ball is being face guarded many times.

Alex appears to have, at times, a case of lead feet.

That leave Diarra 1 of 3 many time without may viable options.

When Johnson started cutting to the hoop, Diarra found him.

But we can simply not approach offense with a 3 vs 5 approach. Mahaney, Johnson, and a few others need to stop watching the game from the outside perimeter and join the attack. Whether it’s rebounding, cutting to the hoop, we can’t have them as observers and Diarra shouldn’t get the blame for the things he does to try and overcome this.
