The team is maybe running the best offense that I have seen under JJ. This is the first time I have seen a team really move the ball well. Typically the ball gets stuck after each pass while a player thinks, looks, hesitates, then throws a pass to the next guy who does the same. In the UAB series it was notable that the ball whipped around the court. The result was good rhythm shots, better shooting percentages, and maybe a few more turnovers, which wasn't a terrible trade off for the better overall offense. I know at least one specific small ball lover will disagree, but I think the change centers on the fact that Kalu has become the focal point of the offense, and that has taken the pressure off of perimeter players to try to find a shot everytime they touch the ball and has opened up good rhythm shots from the perimeter. This team is actually sets up quite well to play through the post with Kalu's ability to make shots down there, and Reece and Trice's ability to cause havoc on the offensive glass.
