[Paint Touches] On talent deficiency and offensive offense

[MuggsyB]

Just popped in to say that it is worse than we probably all even thought.

NET Rankings dropped this morning and we are 167 !!!!!

Holy hell.  That NET number shook me up a bit.

Holy hell.  That NET number shook me up a bit. 

It was a long scroll. I got to 120 and started scrolling back up because I thought maybe I just missed us.

As many have stated, we struggle creating  good shots in the h-c and our bigs have been an unmitigated disaster.  I know it's easy to pick on Caedin, but in his defense he hasn't played significant mins until now. What we're getting from Ben and Royce, not to mention DO, is truly an abomination.

We have payed four pretty bad teams and won, and 4 decent teams of which we should have bet at least two and lost.    The team never quites in the fight - they just, so far, have not shown the quality depth, experience and talent to win the tougher games.   

That could change, but my guess was we would have beat OK if the team's light bulb went bright and they saw the light.   But no.   Mostly the issue is talent and experience.    We are lacking 8n those areas.    Maybe development did it happen like the coaches thought.    Maybe it will take longer.   But right now, this team seems los5 at times.  That's never good. But guys like James is going to be a star - Phillips could be excellent at scoring once he gets his defense down... he will play more.   Steven's will be good, and CH has shown s9me good moves and can develop into a decent player.     So.... There is ....hope!
