Message: [QUOTE="Coach J, post: 2121818, member: 6018"] I'm sorry to just pick two examples, do I need to go on and on with role players who fit into a system and helped make it run....Lyman Depriest, Jake Voskul, Brian Fair, Craig Austere, Jeff Adrien, Donnell Beverley, you should get the idea. Not a bunch of guys who are all me first offensive players who have no concept of ball movement. If Larrier was healthy or D-Ham was here Facey would have played a lot less. How many times this year did the team's offense consist of a 1 on 1 move to the hoop, or a jacked up 3 with someone in their face. Ollie should have been more persuasive to D-Ham about turning pro (it was a bad call and everyone knew it, it's not like he was a hardship guy). I'd like to see a Niels Giffey or Lasan Kromah type of player brought into the program. For the record I like Gilbert a lot, not sure we needed to have our top recruit this coming year be another PG with JA and Gilbert in fold - I doubt you'll often see all 3 on the floor together. And I doubt both JA and Gilbert would both leave for the NBA after next year. He'll be good though I'm sure. Also CV for the revelation he was (and I'd have to think a 4 year guy) at times he took some of the worst shots in critical moments - can KO get a guy with a little basketball IQ? I see announcers breaking down SMU's ball movement and they seemingly always get good looks and then I watch the nonsense we call offense and it's sickening. If it wasn't for JA's and RP's individual ability we wouldn't have scored half the points we did, but imagine how good those two could have been if they played with guys capable of moving the ball to get them open looks?
