Message: [QUOTE="olehead, post: 4146689, member: 4474"] Please see post 95, 96, 97 and can I get an amen. My point exactly. Now what I see from some players is a skillset enabling them to get all the way to the basket. The best have it, whether bully ball, aka, JRandle, or deft like Kyrie, or wings who get there, think of DeRozen, Lebron, Kawhi. Many different ways to get the lay, which is one part of what some say is "modern" ball. Who can get all the way to the basket for us and finish [B]Consistently?[/B] Right now its Sanogo, Martin, Cole and AJax as a possible (lil spades reference:). This is why we see tough two's, flailing weak axx inside shots by guys Unprepared to make twos inside. There's a big guy riding the pine right now who can score. We won't see his proficiency until he transfers out. As I said earlier we are not a team of shooters which explains our three point proficiency. So b/c we are the way we are we lean heavy on D to O scores, Dan Hurley is on the money here. In addition we have enough athleticism where we should be dynamic in transition and dunking the ball. We are lacking in this area. Dan Hurley will shore this up, I'm certain and soon. His belief, dunks are a show of toughness and winning basketball. Even when Sanogo is back we must force the run, utilize the length we have on the bench, i.e., Samson. Dan Hurley has to emphasize skill work, ballhandling and the like, designed to break guys down and get to the basket for our guys. The guards unmentioned above could stand this work ad nauseam. Our athleticism is nothing to sneeze at and should be reliable enough to have us pushing sweet 16. Like I said about L. Aldridge (Nets) in a previous post in this thread. We must for the rest of the way lean heavy on what we do well. Dominant O & D rebounding, sound D and as presently constructed emphasize getting to the basket. Obviously this will be much easier once Sanogo rounds back into form. [/QUOTE]
