Part of it is poor shot selection; but most of it is bad shooting from kids that were great shooters in high school. Crazy.
Probably has something to do with the defenses they saw in high school weren’t as good as what they see now. Probably has more to do with the fact that there’s no structured offense to get them open looks. Dribble dribble jack up a 3.
It is a lot of wide open shots.
I’ve noticed that too, & after a couple of missed open jumpers or blown point blank attempts in a row, they tend to follow those up with a couple stagnet sets where the movement stops & someone has to try to do too much or a turnover. Which typically leads to a scoring drought & run by opponents.
I’ve seen them either score or get great looks coming out of a timeout or in bounds pass under the basket that I don’t doubt they have been taught plays that work when executed with focus, it’s the periods of lack of focus that gets frustrating.
That being said, I do wish on offense the ball would stay in the facilitators & scorers hands more often & the younger more raw players touches a little more limited. I get they have to learn, but sometimes I feel they are being put in positions difficult for them to be successful in at their current skill level & that has lead to too many turnovers.
It is not all scheme...There are a bunch of open looks that are created...
It seems to be an environment issue. It doesn't seem like these guys are getting better especially at things repetition would just make you better at. (FTs and shooting).
The head coach has to demand that these guys put in the 'required' work on their own. Require they badge in and out of the Finch and keep track of who is there since you cant 'require' extra practice but you can hold them accountable for not doing it.
Steph Curry didn't hit 105 3 pointers in a row on talent...Even as an NBA MVP he is still putting in the work
