Message: [QUOTE="August_West, post: 4184002, member: 1047"] I like the idea of Polley (should be Hawkins, but he's just simply not ready) starting because we just are too lacking in shooting with the current starting lineup. The rotations need to change on the mix and matches. However Polley is way too easily neutralized. Creighton did a great job chasing him around when we were obviously running stuff with him in mind, and Polley just does not cut sharply enough to get himself just the tiny bit of space he needs to receive the ball and get something off clean. He just doesn't run solid cuts off screen action. really never has. Polley is at his best when two other players on the floor are threats so teams cant key on him. But we really have no threats. Not consistent ones. Not the the last couple games. So when no other player deserves attention, teams will turn their attention to playing Polley tight. The other issue is Sanogo. He's simply not getting position in spots where he can be effective. Teams are doing a good job of making him catch out of the paint. He has improved on making passing looks, but still needs to improve more. Especially quickly and not holding too long. If you are catching in a tough spot, and are outside the paint and/or doubled ,throw it out right away for an open 3 pop, or throw it out and repost and maybe get it back in better position. Someone needs to put a tape loop of Deandre Ayton's year at Arizona and sit Adama in front of it clockwork orange style. [/QUOTE]
