Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 4424788, member: 1329"] Some of it is how the offense is structured. We're looking to get entries into the post on almost every possession between Sanogo and Donovan. And having that big guy down low does clog the paint a bit. Also, Hurley is not very big (thankfully) on the midrange game, so our guards are encouraged to drive to the middle and kick or find the popping big in pick and pop (Alleyne did make a nice midrange jumper, but Hurley emphasizes rim and 3). Both he and Diarra have done well with this so far. Lots of wide open 3 point shots that we missed in the 1st game and made more of tonight. But iso dribble penetration into the midrange/to the rim was a big part of his game at ECU, so he's still adjusting to his new role and trying to find where the right reads are for him to score vs. pass. He had that nice baseline take from the wing, and he took a couple 3s off the dribble when defense goes under or gets caught in the screen. [/QUOTE]
