Don't over think it - we have no PG
- Thread starter connel
- Start date
So you think that's the only problem? How about a lack of overall offensive talent & yet again this year, no shooters. For now we can hang our hat on, "we make our foul shots we beat Fordham & Hofstra.". That's not going to be the case in two weeks. This team is going to get humiliated on a consistent basis if the ball is still in Wusu's hands the majority of possessions. Pete Carrill would have loved him.
Right now the majority of the game has the ball in the hands of players who don’t know how to initiate the offense. Assuming we’re calling plays on every possession. Idk what the philosophy is but there’s nothing purposeful. It looks like we’re simply spreading the floor to create a driving lane, but nobody drives them? Guys get the ball on the elbow and get stuck with the shot clock winding down.
And the amount of mindless turnovers occurring at the top of the arc because of this is ridiculous. I think the Sanders 3 to put them up 4 with about 1:30 left came from exactly one of those situations where Jenkins turned it over trying to find an outlet.

Think about how bad it must be to come up with these rankings over 3 games against the opponents we’ve played:
2PT = 341st
FT % = 331st (and 47th in rate so important component)
Turnover % = 318th
Possession Time = 336th
So we’re slow, highly turnover prone, and can’t make high-percentage shots. Well yeah, look how we play. It looks like a Royal Rumble in the paint.

Is there an advanced stat for missing the front ends of 1-and-1s? Because we also do that a lot. Which adds to the badness.
Maybe somewhere out there, idk.
The team is 40/70. Addae-Wusu is 7/15 and Toumi is 3/10!! 💀
Not anymore Sha has gained 20+ lbs since starting as our coach. Likely not very quick at this fighting weight
Sha’s comment on the final play just verified everything I’ve been saying. There’s no basketball talent anymore.
It’s all analytic driven. “Getting to the hoop” is supposed to provide an easier close range layup attempt or a foul. If not, you shoot a 3.
That doesn’t work. What happened to designing plays and screen to free up a player for a mid range jumper? Or a back door layup? No we just barrel to the hoop praying the referee will call foul. Horrendous, unwatchable, talentless basketball.
Coleman is the only player on this team so far I’ve seen take 2 dribbles and pull up for a 8-10 foot jumper. The rest just want the highlight reel.
AAU, elite tournament circuits, Instagram and YouTube have destroyed the American basketball player.
Remember during the SPU Elite 8 run there was a total Xs and Os guy on twitter who was diagramming the incredible designed plays and offensive sets used to secure those huge upsets? How come we've never seen at any of that here?
That wasn’t Sha drawing those up… it was Whalen. No clue. Must’ve left that playbook in Jersey city
As bad as things are now, just wait until conference play starts. In the past seasons a 20 point loss happened a few times, this season it looks like it will happen with regularity. In fact, the possibility of a season like Gtown has had the past few looms as distinct probability. Who can anyone say, with a degree of confidence, that this team WILL beat ???
I don’t know why we bailed on Garwey Dual so fast. He’s already benched by Game 3? In the opener he was very active all over the floor and posted 5 assists. There was some sloppiness, but I mean he’s a sophomore who was a backup at Providence last year. I thought at least he would get minutes and coached up.
Maybe there are other issues at play, idk. Sha said something about his shoulder? Strange.

i havent bailed pn him yet. i cant buy so many being wrong and remain hopeful. but very concerned. we were told they didnt think one frosh was ready and he has been our best center. give the other guy a look.
