When you say he should score more because he's always touching the ball it makes it seem like you aren't paying attention to how we run our offense.

I pay attention to the fact that he be open to score but he's limited at it so he stay in his lane.

We have a struggle plate offense. Nobody is exempt from trying to score. We need as much of it as possible. Even if we needed Zeller to score, where do we give him the ball to operate?

As long as he keeps shutting down whomever he guards we don't need him to score. I mean, that was the same argument all of us made for MKG last year right?

Cody shuts down nearly whomever he guards and gets shat on. MKG did the same last season and was praised.

Just saying.. MKG is my favorite player and all, but its beginning to get a tad hypocritical.

Edit: I know catch trolls. I think hes a good overall poster, but he trolls. He knows it, I know it, we all know it. Lol.

MKG is my favourite player and Kemba my second favourite.

Cody Zeller is like my red-headed stepchild that I praise in public and berate in private, but at the end of the day... all is forgiven because I get to bang his mom :wink:

Cody has been amazing this season, box score watchers will never understand.

He might run around like a headless chook, but he's OUR headless chook.

LoL. Catch and "Mrknowitall" would have that distention. MKIA has been better lately, but catch does nothing but try and bait people. I just ignore him.

MKG got plenty of sh*tted on last year whenever he only scored 2 or 4 points. That's unacceptable.

It's hard to score if you don't take many shots. We never really run a play for Zeller or MGK. Really it doesn't seem like we run plays for anyone except Jefferson. The guards are just more able to create for themselves because they have the ball in their hands so much.

When was the last time Zeller got a legit post up opportunity or ran a pick and roll where the guard hit him on the way to the rim? When was the last time we ran an iso play for MKG. All Zeller does in Cliffords offense is catch the ball at the top of the key from a guard and pass it to another guard or take an occasional long two on a kickout.

Clifford just isn't very creative in designing things around the strengths of our different players. He needs to catch the ball in the triple threat position closer to the free throw line and turn and face right away when a slower guy is on him. When a smaller guy is on him send him to the post.

Are we seriously comparing Zeller's defense to MKG's?

Um we give MKG lots of iso and dribble drive opportunities, don't agree that he and Zeller are treated similarly in our offense.

Completely true. You cannot argue with trolls because they have no really point and just want attention. Anyone who watches knows what is real but some people just want to start mess.
