A local doing fine it's a plus, and there have been locals that could have helped but chose another path. What I just can't understand is how we fail to find a guy who can confidently stroke the 3 when we need to open up the court. Part of that is because of the offense. When you run the type of motion that requires a certain type of athlete you can't just plug in a Wragge type player, or McV for that matter.
The only 3s I've seen taken in this offense, that really appeared a normal part of a player's game, were a couple by Horne, and then some top of the key stuff by Webster and Watson, but none of those guys could be counted on to shoot at an acceptable percentage. McV needs space to be effective, as do most designated snipers. That means we'd have to run an offense with a little more structure and plays designed to create that space, screens, double screens, force some switches you can really exploit. We don't do this. Our answer for getting a look at a 3 is slash to the basket and when all else fails, fling a kick out pass and hope someone is there to catch it. Even then most defenses have time to recover.
My problem with Miles is his failure to recognize he needs a better Xs and Os man as an assistant. Recruiting is up, but we need the product on the court to ratchet it up to match that recruiting.
