Rim protectors, and now depth at the 4/5...... Pass the ball, stop pounding it...... move without the ball.
That was our downfall last year.

Thought we shot the 3 ball majority of the time after Oscar left. Our downfall was nobody played defense last year. So games were high scoring and tight. Big guys couldn't make foul shots. Nobody on the team could make a layup or a tip in.
Terrible passing team and Bigs couldn't hit FT.
I have no problem pounding it inside if you make your basket or kick it out if doubled. To me the downfall was Culver forcing shots in triple coverage.
Inside game is still part of basketball game you know just need to know when to use it or pass it back. See Baylor National Champions.
Baylor used their guards to establish themselves on both sides of the floor.
A lot of their offensive sets were about creating space
They were actually more efficient on offense without Vital
But Vital gave them what they needed on the defensive end unlike Mayer.
They didn’t have anyone on the roster like Culver

Partially true Allen. Horrible at times from the FT line. Very good at times. Rim protector he was not. Sometimes it looked like he was just afraid to foul out and teams knew that so they went right into him. Problem was we had no depth losing Isiah and Oscar. He was a very good passer but needed to look quicker for the open Man when the double came. But ...... he could score.
Problem is he would rather force up a shot than pass it. Oscar was to busy trying to look good for scouts and basically screwed the team.
No one has top talent in every category. So you make the most of their goods and avoid as much as possible their bads. Huggins is a master at that.
I'm locked out of the blue lot it seems. I thought maybe I needed to renew subscription but it said I had one already.
