MU vs Zone

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

Eh, there's a balance, like in everything.  I remember Sophomore Kam taking a few moon-shots down in Fort Myers and Shaka was asked about them and said something along the lines of Kams gotta reign it in, and he did. I wouldn't focus on the number of shots, but more on the quality of shots.  Royce has had a few quick three's. No problem with him taking them, but taking them with 20 seconds on the shot clock is not preferred.  All that said, this is how they learn, I have zero doubt that Shaka will get them playing the way he wants.

There were a couple that he took where his feet were not set or had to alter his shot to avoid a defender.  In my mind those are the teaching moments.  Time on the clock is interesting only in that you force a suboptimal shot when you don't have time left to get a better one...not that you don't have the green light to take a good shot any time.

Royce right now looks like the entire team for the first 10 games of Shaka's first season.  One pass and a 3.  Not aesthetically pleasing.  Eventually, they became comfortable in the offense, started going through their reads, getting to the next motion, and finding a good look in the flow of the offense.
   He isn't doing that yet.  He will.  He will come to realize that setting the screens, doing the handoffs, running the motion, leads to more open shots or angles to drive.

 
Patience.
