The best way to score is to get easy baskets (duh!) but how did we do?
Half-Court Offense - POOR
We did not have the players to play the high low unless Mick and Lucas were in at the same time
We could not get easy 3S as we had no post presence where we could play IN and OUT for open 3s.
Transition Game - EMBARASSING
This too me was the thing that most frustrated me all year, the ability to finish in transition. This was absolute the worst KU fast break team I have ever seen. And again it stems from Perry having to play more inside and could not really get out on the break. Also, we needed Mason to pass more on the break (give it up) instead of taking it by himself. Maybe he was not confident in his teammates to finish (see any Selden thread), but we had too many shoved back for run-outs the other way.
Offensive Rebounding - AVERAGE at BEST
For a 6' 5" - 230lb'er (Selden) to have one rebound....that sucks! Rebounding is all about desire and want too! And the ability to read the ball inflight....we sucked at Offensvie rebounding...again....Easy Baskets! Give me Kevin Young any day and twice on weekends! That is who Traylor needed to be, but for some reasons, ENERGY was not his game this year!
Bunnies - HORRIBLE
Absolutely Horrible! We needed to finish more with dunks! not enough power going up! Lucas not getting time ealrier in the season to build is confidence really hurt here.
