Tavernari...

It's too bad Murdock can't shoot, and can't take it to the rim and draw some fouls.

It's also too bad about war and famine and suffering.

I think Murdock is an adequate shooter. I think he was facing an excellent defense and our system isn't the best for adaptation.

He needs to given the green light, so he can get some practice and confidence.

When you have facing a zone, and you have a guard or two who won't take wide open 3's , you are dead meat.

I'm not saying he's a bad shooter. But he is a weak link right now.

I agree with that. Like most of our guards, he shoots well in rhythm and he shoots well when he is confident. we need to find ways to get him confident and get him shots in rhythm.

I think that this team is really lacking a handful of offensive sets to be used at the end of the first half and at the end of the game or coming out of timeouts. A few sets that get us certain shots. I would love to see Tavernari come off a staggered triple for a catch and shoot. I would love to see us run Cummard off of a guard double in an inverted post and get him the ball on the block against a 1, 2, or 3. I would love to see TP throw the ball to the top of the key from a 17 foot catch, run off a double screen as the ball swings away and either catch it deep or have the screen break into Tav at the high post and Cummard at the angle. Our guys shoot well off screens, we should put in some sets that will help them do that which we only use at certain times.
