The other players had 12 shots, but you would rather have Furst shooting than TKR or rather Colvin shooting than Loyer. I don’t understand that. We are not a socialist team.
While I don’t disagree. It’d be good to see more action with ALL players and not just the big 3 in CASE one of them is off.
When Colvin and Heide get the ball. Myles looks immediately to the next step in the set and not even at the basket and even just dribble to put pressure on the defense. Heide has some space to shoot but instead, pump fakes and by the time he pumps, the defender has recovered. No one has bit on the fake all year.
Harris last game put the ball on the floor to put pressure on the defense and cox is similar, if not more aggressive (don’t know if they were told they could be and the other two were told not to or what).
It’s hard for any shooter, especially at this level, to get into the flow of the game if they aren’t getting shots/touching the ball.
I don’t want to speak for everyone, but I’d say in the losses, the frustration is we don’t get anyone else going but the big 3. We aren’t saying Furst should get ISO over TKR or run the PnR with Smith (he is in no way anywhere near the finisher TKR is). What I AM saying is get Myles, Heide, cox and Harris more involved with the action. Set more back screens and flare screens, someone will get open to put pressure on the defense. We run a lot of weave at the top with hand offs and get pushed way out at times. Mostly Branden is handling it and no one else really touches it (yes he is the best player), but if we want to be successful in the tourney we WILL need a 4th scorer to emerge (unless big 3 goes on a heater which would be great but can’t count on).
We know Myles and Cam can be good shooters, so if we can get them going, it makes the team that much better. And same goes for Cox and GiCarri (he is showing good signs of confidence with shooting as of late).
