Lack of Aggressiveness?

Anyone else see this as our biggest weakness? From Darko's lack of dunks to Wes and Friends hesitating when they have an open shot to Beasley settling for contested jumpers. We are way too passive. This could also be a large factor in our slow starts.

It's one of the most obvious weaknesses. We could use a veteran player that is tough/mean and mentally strong that will bitch out some of these softies on the squad. We don't have any vocal leaders or veteran players to take our youngsters under their wings. What Sam Mitchell & Terry Porter did with a young KG is what we currently need.

We should trade for Okafor and Ariza, should be doable... neither shoots worth a damn but they are fine in close, and both provide great defense and vet experience. They wouldn't cost much, Pek, Wes, AR, and Miller... Saves NO $11 million next season.

Rubio/Barrea/Ridnour
Webster/Ellington/Lee
Ariza/Beas/Tolliver
Love/Williams
Okafor/Darko

That would be a nice starting 5

Hopefully we can get some of that when Miller and Webster get healthy. Although I think Miller has softened, I used to hate him because he was so aggressive back in Sac-town.

Yes, with Beasley and Johnson especially. If were both were aggressive as they should be we'd be a much better team. Even Rubio and Williams are being aggressive.

Beasley is aggressive just in the wrong way. He should focus his aggressiveness on D. And limit himself only to easy opportunities on offense until he finds his jumper back.
