Synergy Seems to be a Problem w this Team

[Atlanta/Jim]

In the past month you have 3 guys Williams, Edey and Ivey doing the scoring. W and E average about 12-13 pts per game and Ivey gets his 20 pts but usually makes 4-5 TOS per game. But no one else steps up for a big game other than Newman’s first game back and Hunter 8-10 pts. Very little from Sasha, Thompson, Furst, Morton and others. Hell Thompson had no shots today. These guys just wait for Ivey to make plays and don’t step up for a good game of 10+ pts per game. And missing foul shots boggles the mind - every player should be 75%+. Today we missed the front end of 4 one in one foul shots. We’ve had games in the past 11/12 foul shots. The TOS just cripple this team after playing in over 34 games together. Today 17 TOS and they scored 14 pts. I think Painter should shake the line up bench Sasha and play Newman and Morton more minutes. Sasha is a disappointment for a Senior but hope he finds his shot. Painter has to do something otherwise I’m afraid we will not like the tournament results. AtlantaJim
