Mam you obviously never played basketball at any competitive level so maybe you should ask your husband to help you in this discussion. I will try to explain this in the most simplest terms to you. When Lino drove the ball to the hoop, there weren't often any options other than to shoot because front court players either couldn't catch or couldn't finish

This one is pretty silly. A good player makes the right play, do your job, if someone else doesn't do theirs they won't be out there. I like Lino's future, but he did not look to pass, almost ever, but especially when he drove. It was eyes at rim. Not all that abnormal for a freshman when the game is still fast for them.

This is true, but I think it’s also true that we played a deliberate iso focused style (even more than usual) this year because of the lack of scoring options in the paint. Meaning he was probably on less of a leash than he might otherwise have been on.

Now arguably we could’ve tried to use Ogbole more on offense, but keep in mind he only played 19 mpg and was prone to offensive fouls.
