he should be involved more in the offense problem is that he is to stationary, he needs to stay moving run around circles around his defender rip, ray even kemba did it when bazz was running the point
Ever consider that we have ran plays designed to shift traffic to one side of the court, as Niels sneaks around to the other corner, and Bazz/Boat drive and kick as his defender collapses? Just because his defender doesn't bite every time doesn't mean we aren't trying. Either way, we have definitely seen Bazz and Boat suppressing their racism and dishing to him more over the last few games.
Martelli is a solid coach. Wright is better. And if we're good enough to win that, I don't see us playing against a bad coach. They all do scouting reports...and there's a lot of tape at this stage of the season, and Gif is what he is. So you're totally right.Ever consider that we have ran plays designed to shift traffic to one side of the court, as Niels sneaks around to the other corner, and Bazz/Boat drive and kick as his defender collapses?

If we can get him wide open he will bury it. If he has some pressure he is only average or passes the ball. We should be able to get him some open looks against Villanova. They play 3 guards and tend to help a lot on D so if we pass it well Giffey would be open and could be key.Hitting shots are like hits in baseball. They're contagious. Giffey is lights out with a clean look all the time. We need more plays for him. Seems like he is just the kick out option.

Additionally, what's good about Daniels getting his shot back, (as in the beginning of the year) is that, provided Gif stands in the corner, and Daniels provides spacing, there are two guys you can't help off of, and now our guards can get into the lane without the absurd congestion we've been facing down low when Daniels hit his slump.
Just talked to my son who is a Nova grad and huge fan so he follows them closely. He told me they don't defend the 3 well and we will get open perimeter shots. Also said we don't have an answer for Pinkston inside (about 6'7", 250 lbs.). He is probably right but if they don't defend us well on the perimeter we could win big.
Harrell is a freak of nature. Nobody else is like him.Ugh, sounds a little like Harrell. Dooooomed.
Maybe we start Tyler and use fouls up first.Ugh, sounds a little like Harrell. Dooooomed.
I been saying this all year. We need to get Giffey open via screen after screen. We need to bring back plays we used to run for RIP. He would run around and force his defender through screen after screen. Giffey needs to be more active when he does not have the ball and rest of our guys need to keep setting screens for him until he is open. He is the X-factor that will determine if we can make a deep run.
RIP was in perpetual motion without the ball. As you said Giffey isn't active enough without the ball even when we do set screens for him. Giffey works hard to get open but he just isn't nearly effective at it as RIP. Not a knock against Giffey because few players were as active without the ball as RIP. Plus RIP could hit his shot with defensive pressure and I haven't seen that from Giffey.I been saying this all year. We need to get Giffey open via screen after screen.
