Looks like a more athletic and defensive team but much less offense and shooting. Interesting.
More shooting because we can create the lanes to get shots. When teams are having to defend Jaland Lowe they will either have to give up layups or threes. You mark my words —- we are going to be a better shooting team, slightly lower percentage but way more attempts

How do you get less offense? We have 63ppg returning, and that isn’t counting whatever Jasper and Moreno bring to the table, plus Pope said he’s looking to add another shooter. We averaged 84ppg this past season. So we’re right there, but with better athletes/defenders.

I hope you end up being right. I’m not panicking about it, but I do have some concerns that rolling with Dioubate and Garrison at the 4 is going to have a negative effect on those driving lanes. If we’re as good at driving as we’re hoping, I don’t think defenses are going to worry too much about staying attached to guys who might hit 1-2 threes on a good day. Carr wasn’t perfect, but he was a much more consistent outside shooter than either of them.
