my 2 cents: Teams that have quick guards that like to penetrate are difficult to guard for all our guards except maybe Richardson. McBee and Golden do well against guards that are not real quick, but quick ones kill them. McRae just isn't a very disciplined defender IMO. TN does well defending the single ball screen at the top, but Ole Miss threw a double screen at the top and they scored alot off that. They either drove the basket or someone was open due to someone having to help.
Offensively, TN doesn't have good penetraters except for Josh and Jordan. And IMO they don't do that near enough. All the guards need to drive the ball more. When they do usually something good happens. They pass back and forth around the top of the key too much. Golden was doing that earlier in the year and seems to have just stopped. Maybe he's injured or something. And IMO, the offensive set seems always the same. The defenders seem to know exactly where the ball is going most the time. And yes, they need to either step up and start making open 3's or either drive the basket on the kickouts.
I believe Hubbs will make a world of difference next year.
? for BTO, is Landry a quick guard and good defender? Is he more of a true PG and make stuff happen and get the ball where it needs to be?
Very quick and good defender. However, offense is severely lacking, but how's that different than Lopez and Mcbee really?
I'm intrigued to see if he can bring anything honestly.
