At the end of the day, it’s all about roster construction. This team has talent and depth, but is very poorly constructed. To wit:
Our starting lineup consists of
A two guard playing point
A 3 man that can’t score playing shooting guard
And undersized power forward playing the 3
A utility man that can once in a while (see tonight) get hot but is more often than not invisible on offense playing the 4
An excellent, if not well rounded, 5
We have no #1 or #2 point guard that can facilitate or start an offense
We have no sniper that can come in and shoot
We have no one that is just a flat out scorer
We have a bunch of really bad shooters
When you start every game with 3.5 guys on the floor that are offensive liabilities, guess what?? You dig yourself a lot of early holes. Have been saying this all year.
What’s the common denominator in all of our losses except one?? We scored 60 points or less. That’s letting other teams dictate pace. Our advantage, if we have one, is athleticism and depth. We need to run, wear teams down and impose our will. Cuz half court, slow paced games are not our specialty. Coaches need to figure this out.
And do a better job of filling the right positions on the court.
