I think Mashack fits better when ZZ is not on the floor.

Our offense is too inside/out with ZZ and JM isn’t enough of a shooting threat.

When it’s Gainey running point or point by committee, offense runs a bit more traditional flex and Mashack spends a lot more time inside the line where he does have to be guarded

Edit: To clarify, when ZZ is playing, the ball sticks in his hands more. When it’s someone else paying point, there is way more passing and ball movement. And that creates less opportunity for people to slack off JM.

I’m surprised some folks post favorably about Dubar’s play. It’s shocking he averaged 18 last season and shot 40% from 3 then produces nothing this season. The team and Barnes continue to make positive comments about Dubar in interviews so maybe he’s going to light it up and win us a game this year….we can hope anyway.
I don’t think it’s shocking considering he played in a league that Hofstra is in. He has made several strong moves to the basket in SEC play. If he had to be a go-to scorer in a lower league, I can see the talent. I think he also has a good shot. I’ve missed a few games, but from the ones I’ve seen, he’s had some rim outs from three. SEC is just different.

Agreed. It will be interesting what Barnes decides moving forward with some of these issues.
