Message: [QUOTE="PAHusky, post: 5165337, member: 3807"] [LIST] [*]the problem with AK on the offensive end is that he can't beat anyone with decent footspeed off the dribble and has no midrange game, so he's reduced to straight line drives at the rim or increasingly deep 3's when he's asked to create. He needs to recognize he's best as a complimentary option again this year. Offense needs to be built around others [*]who are those others? I guess Solo, Diarra and Stewart until Liam comes back, though I'm not sure why we don't use Reed more frequently. He had some impressive finishes in the first half and then....nothing ran through him [*]encouraged by Solo's drives/passing in the second half. His on ball defense is getting....a little better? Still gets lost off ball [*]I'm actually impressed Diarra didn't shoot that. I really feel like the most underrated thing about Diarra is that he's figured out exactly who he is as a player and has played within himself much more because of it [*]Stewart needs to start. I think the kid needs pressure/spotlight/starting spot to get it going, give it to him [*]the Ross experiment needs to end. He's a defense first guy who can't play defense. He has some strong defenders on this board who insist we keep giving him time to develop but this isn't the year for that. Hope he puts it together next year [*]Nowell looked appropriately timid but think he'll be fine [*]we should probably as a board collectively can the neptune jokes when we, you know, lose games to neptune's team [*]this team just seems like it has a hard ceiling, which isn't something we were used to the last few years [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
