Title: [Paint Touches] Kolek v Drop Coverage Preview
Post by: PaintTouches on November 15, 2022, 01:10:13 PM: Just a quick deconstructed Twitter thread explaining why I'll be focused on Kolek's play against Purdue.

This was his shot chart on pick & roll ball handling possessions against Creighton last season. Want to see improvement in this regard.

Post by: Dr. Blackheart on November 15, 2022, 01:29:46 PM: Thanks for providing further analysis on what the Big East teams already knew. Kolek shot 37% from two a year ago and is already below that (he shot 51% at George Mason).

I will just add that MU centers were a big cause of this as almost all their shots were at the time or a close in push shot. Oso or Gold need to shoot from the outside to draw the centers out and make them honest. Otherwise it's 3 on 5 again in the paint.

More so, this leads to his higher turnover rate and opponents' break outs (where our transition was putrid down the stretch a year ago).

Great point. We talked about him being too left handed last year and this shows his vulnerability.
