I think we need to recruit some more jump shooters

Postby Rebel10 » Sat Nov 09, 2013 10:35 am

If Nic and Keith ever have off nights it could be tough from that aspect of our game. If we do not get Turner or Lee I think we should go after the best jump shooter out there to help next year.

Totally agree, teams are going to play that zone a lot against us. Would be nice to have Bernardi for that zone last night. Frazier and him on each side, teams wouldn't be able to play zone. They did adjust in 2nd half and had great interior passing.

My high school coach called them "Zone Busters." D. J. Hogg would fall in that category imo.

You can beat a zone with good penetration. Good PGs are just as useful as shooters in this case. Note how things changed when we swung it down low.

If Jalen Jones was going to get limited minutes, Bernardi never would have seen the court.

Bernardi would have seen the court cause they know they need shooters. They pleaded w/him to stay for that reason. Its Nic or Keith. We may need a shooter and stretch 4 more than a big, imo

Benardi had no d. Too slow getting down in transition. Russell can shoot, he had off night.

Russell can shoot mid-range, not the 3. LB would disagree w/you about Bernardi. He was playing quite well by the end of the year

Darrick Wood isn't a shooter, he's more a combo slasher type

Wish he had stayed. You can always use a guy with that kind if shot. Definitely opens the court up.
