Where has Justin Isham gone?

it seems he's tried to disappear the last couple of games. I really thought we'd see him follow the development that Damon Hancock did and that he would become a scorer for us this year. Now that we are getting more points from the low post than we have in years, suddenly we're lacking any consistent outside scoring.
If Isham (and Miller & Bennett for that matter) aren't going to produce from the perimeter, let's hope Derrick Roberts can fill that role for SMU next year.

Looking at the box score he attempted one shot (a three)in 26 minutes. He needs to be involved in the offense. He has a nice shot from the baseline. But you're right unless he gets more involved, it could be a long year. 53 points is not going to win many games.

That has been a problem for Isham throughout his career. He simply disappears from the offense. Our offense stands around too much looking at BHop trying to find someone open instead of running through the lanes and screening for each other to get open. Ball movement is slow and a little overplay keeps guys like Isham from ever even touchoing the ball bercause he basically stands on the perimeter..

The only play I see set for him sometimes is the backdoor slash to the basket.
We need to revamp the offense or do something. 50 pts ain't going to get it done.
