It's not stange. Shooters cost money. Size cost money. We don't have the money to get what we really need. So until we and the school do a better job getting donations Holloway has to cobble a roster as he did last year.
I feel everyone's grief, but complaining is not going to help the cause.
Shooters who also defend to Sha's liking cost premium $$. At some point he needs to take a chance on someone from a lower conference who may be a minus athlete but can shoot the crap out of the ball to add another layer to their offense.
In short - you're correct, and it limits the ceiling here but the definition of insanity....
I'd consider a full court press system (get extremely long players, generate turnovers for easy baskets to lessen your shooting deficiencies) or a 2-3 zone that lets you hide guards that lack athleticism.
