Not too much to say here but heres my nit picking:

1) Guards need to work on getting a little more width on pick and roll's. We have a tendency to stay narrow which enables the defense to defend 2 guys with 1 sometimes. Ulis is really good at getting that width to create the space for that pocket pass. Murray and Briscoe are young, so its something they will learn with time.

2) We need to set better screens. Period. We do a lot of screening and don't get into the bodies of the defenders.

3) Rebounding - Just become more consistent

4) Id like to see us use the 3 man weave more. We used it a lot in exhibition games and we really haven't used it since. With our guards itd be impossible to guard.

5) I think we need to utilize our bigs on the perimeter when we go against bruisers. Make those guys defend laterally and defend a pick and roll. If you switch you have 2 mismatches that are really bad for opposing defenses and if you don't switch and you don't stay with either guy, they have the step and it becomes a 2v1 or 3v2 situation in our favor.


This team is built for a championship. IMO we have the 3 best guards in the nation on 1 team.
