and can get the ball inside or create a shot for themselves. This tends to create better shots for everyone, and also gets us to the foul line and we're a good FT shooting team. We tend to sometimes pass it around the perimeter and jack up a 3, which is when the offense gets stagnant. We don't have a real PG - Barton is really a 2, and I'm not sure what Thompson is. However, Richardson and McRae can kind of be like PGs for this team, and that can work.
We also need a little better bench play. They're not giving us much offensively. Moore is pretty good and I'd like to see him play more, but Reese is basically a rebounder, and Thompson seems to have regressed, needs to get more aggressive.
We can beat UMass. I'd love to see what this team, when on, can do vs Duke.
I agree we are much better when we try to penetrate the lane. I do think Barton has done well as a PG though. However he was hot at the end of the regular season and has cooled down a bit. As for the bench, they didn't do much last game but IMO our starters are so good I am not sure who I want to come in, other than Armani and Thompson. Reese is a decent role player IMO. I guess I would like to see more bench scoring, but I don't really want McRae and the rest to sit that much, other than Barton and maybe Richardson.
