Well Green is attempting quite a bit less. but I am definitely not going to argue with you on ball movement. Did mention that problem under my hate Stevens wrath.
We can keep saying "oh, I wish we had this random guy and that" but unless we change the way we play, I don't think the Struses and Tuckers of the world will make a bit of difference.
Max Strus will just stand in the corner, even get himself open but will rarely get the pass or because the team as whole doesn't make quick decisions with the ball, the defense will close out on him by the time the ball gets to him.
Overall agree. but it would still be nice to have a player that, in my judgement, are better shooters regardless of shooting pct.
But since we both agree on lack of ball movement. is it on the players more or the coaches? can it be fixed or or we fooling ourselves?
We have a better shooter in theory riding the bench. Some guy named Aaron Nesmith. We already have 7 rotation guys who shoot 39%+ from three. Kemba and Smart are better than their current shooting %.
Cs are 6th in 3-pt shooting %. Problem is, we don't shoot the 3-ball nearly enough. The Jays seem to prefer the midrange. Our shot selection is whack for whatever reason. As much as we dump on Kemba, I like it when he pulls up from three. His shot will fall eventually. Overhauling an offense might require a full offseason and training camp. It's more on the coaches imo. But I'm not blind to the fact that this team lacks players who naturally know how to pass and when to cut and how to read-and-react against a defense on the fly. So I don't know how you fix that.
EDIT: Our defense shouldn't get a pass too btw. It's still early and I think it's more fixable than our offense. Not too worried about our defense esp once we get the normal rotation healthy.
