Unfortunately - Big O only seems capable of completing open drive rehearseddesign plays. Kind of like Gavin Wimsatt was. We’re not having a good shooting day from the outside which means we’re in trouble because the interior offense is a big black hole. Eventually your guards get shut down when your forwards give you absolutely nothing.

Yeah he is. But even on his worst day he’s getting to the line and has 13 points. we have no other option. Need him and Lino to drive, get fouled, and force some turnovers.
Need a coach that runs an efficient offense if what we need.

There is no player out there making this better.

Without Big O, we are awful on both ends inside. There’s no magical coaching that could change that. And Ogbole isn’t great either but he’s by far the best we’ve got.

This is the problem. No one can win with only one offensive threat on the entire roster. We desperately need a reliable three-point shooter next year.

we’ve had days where guys shoot well from deep. What we need most of all is interior presence on both ends. Not having that is debilitating for the offense. Opponents don’t even have to consider the possibility of us feeding the paint.

Zrno has done nothing — get him off the floor. I also don’t understand why EO never plays. He’s limited but they don’t have a real big. At the very least he’d be a better paint presence than Dortch

Well, they aren't forcing turnovers, but have combined for six baskets and 5 turnovers themselves. Sadly, they are still a couple of our best performers. I'll be happy not to see Nwuli for a while.

A motion offense solves a lot of our problems tbh.
You still need one interior player who can post up at least a little. Not so much even as a major scoring threat but enough to keep teams honest and be a threat to kick out. We have nothing. Grant is a turnover if he gets the ball inside.
