Spenser is so right about J-Wash -- gotta get J-Wash more touches inside...he has good hands and he's skilled around the rim ... if he gets a few easier interior buckets it will take a lot of pressure off his shooting and help him relax into the flow. It will also help our perimeter guys a lot. Whatever his strength and defensive limitations, J-Wash is our only truly offensively skilled big...need to develop him...at least where the matchups allow it. I'm not saying we don't play big by committee still a bit, esp where the matchups demand it. But IMO being more intentional about getting J-Wash touches inside will pay dividends in the long run.
I’ve been saying this since day 1! Even if we aren’t scoring a ton in the post, we need to at least establish the threat. J wash can shoot and scored a lot last year from the inside. Lubin showed a really nice post move a couple of games ago.
We need to run an actual offense and try to get the bigs the ball. I see people say "well they know what we're running." That happens with every offense, we just need to run the offense so good that it doesn't matter that they know. We also need to play consistent good defense from the start of the game. Coaches need to make players accountable for their consistent mistakes.
Also, Elliot's special sauce talent is wasted without a skilled interior offensively skilled big to dish to...Establishing JWash inside will make Elliot way more effective at the thing is is elite at.
