That's the problem with all your stats. WE CAN"T SHOOT THE THREE.We are terrible at that. So stop taking them I say. Of course we can't shoot inside either, so we are screwed. Trey Freeman was might good at the mid-range game, I'd take another one like that.

Or thats the exact reason why it's not a problem. If Green is at 0.75 points per "post up attempt," its a bad shot.

How many of those previous post up attempts were against a player 6' or shorter? If it's not in his arsenal or skillset, that's unfortunate. But all year the coaches knew about these little guards, and there was no thought on posting them up? I think that's just part of the frustration, that we aren't able to expose an obvious weakness.

Thats the question. How much experience does he have doing it? How good is he at doing it? Just because he's taller doesn't mean he can efficiently score against shorter players. Even big players aren't really efficient at posting up.

Some post players are very good at posting up....but its rare.

ODU has had several "big players" that were efficient at posting up. Washington, West, Gattison, Gattling, Hodge, Lee, and Hassell to name a few.
