Sure.  They clearly aren't good enough.  And Akok is absolutely playing at no better than 50% of what he was in Charleston and shortly after.  Not sure if injuries, a freshman wall or something else.  Even that high effort motor where he used to beat everyone down the floor on D is not there.

That said, Nelson is correct that Josh can't score, except via offensive rebounds, when we never put him in the post and get him the ball.  Hurley seems to have intentionally removed that from the game plan.  If that's because it's not part of his offense going forward and he wants the team to adapt, I get that.  But Josh is nearly useless in that system on offense.  I can't give Josh a full pass on his play, he drops too many passes and rebounds and doesn't finish strong.  But a center isn't supposed to create his own shots, and we aren't getting him the ball.

Honestly, I think just having Springs this year might have been worth two more wins.  We are so weak inside.  Even with no other big Javonte Brown Ferguson and Springs are upgrades next year.  I do expect Hurley will get somebody else, and I really do not see how Josh fits going forward.
