I feel a little dirty that I’ve generally agreed with most of his posts since his return. Mick needs to stop force feeding Gary and for the love of god make his guys set actual screens or just don’t bother with them at all.
Playing inside out is not the issue, we have an execution issue. Gary takes way too long to set up his shot and doesn't feel the double even though he should know it's on the way. His passing in the first half was horrible. it got a lot better in the second half. The truth is, we didn't make shots. Cumberland had a wide open trey that dented the rim. Evans had a wide open trey that chipped the back board. Both Jenifer and Broome passed up wide open treys for no good reason. Gary took way too long trying to get his and ended up being grossly ineffective. Kyle looked like he was trying to get up as many shots in the post as he could before Mick pulled him again.
Kyle needs to get back to basics. Offensive rebounds and putbacks. Take Js if they are wide open. His post game is poor and only adds to the clutter in the lane.
Gary needs to be more decisive, shoot or pass. He simply does not have the time to pound the rock, pump fake twice and then throw out a lousy pass or get his shot stuffed. He needs to be aggressive.
Everyone else needs to get better at shooting and shoot more not less. if Jenifer is going to pass up open treys, he doesn't need to be out there because he's a liability on defense and adds nothing on offense. He needs to give the other team a reason to guard him.
i'm Team Cane. i like the fact that he gets to the rim. He needs to get better on defense. That said, i think he'll get better.
As far as Mick goes, he needs to trust his team. Coach them up in practice, guide them when they aren't in the game, but when they are on the floor, let them run
