can Donald Petit score this year?  It's a little bit of a down year offensively for Rochester.  We have a few guards who can shoot a little, but SF is a poor scoring position for me this year and I really don't have as much offense as I'd like, particularly in the starting lineup.  I'm going to need to lean heavily on Petit for my offense.  I don't need him to shoot over 59% again, but I'd like him to remain reasonably efficient.  Can he go for 18+ or even 20+ a game while staying over 50%?  If so that could go a long way towards making my offense respectable.

You run the triangle, so yes you can lean on him for 16-18 easily I'm guessing. You can lean more on 1 or 2 players in the Triangle moreso than the other offenses (not that it's recommended or anything).

 did this really need its own thread?

Wow, that's a new level of douchiness even for you.  I'm trying to get some advice on how to set up my distros.  I've never had such an unbalanced offensive team before.  I can understand if you want to mock me.  But not for asking questions.

You should be able to get 7-9 points from Anderson easily as well. Your guards are really unathletic so they will be sporadic at best even with the decent bh/passing some of them have. You will probably struggle on offense pending how difficult your schedule is. Looks like you got some nice recruits though, hopefully some of them run your o/d so you can lean on them a little bit as the season goes along.

Yeah, Anderson can score, but he'll be coming off the bench.  Same with Severns.  McCook and Grubb will probably both see some starts at SF; Grubb is a decent scorer, McCook a little less so but not awful, neither will likely average anywhere close to double digits.  Towner and Taylor will be the starting guards; Taylor is the only other guy in my starting lineup who might be in double digits on a consistent basis.  So I'm going to need to feed the ball to Petit a lot, and I'm trying to figure out exactly how much I can get away with before he starts to struggle.  I'm guessing that he's not good enough to take the 50% of the shots among the players on the floor before his base rate starts taking a hit, but I don't know how close to that I can push him.  Can he take 30+ distro?  35?  If my starters only combine for about 60, can he take 25 of it?  I guess I'll learn by trial and error, but a decent starting point would be nice.

My first thought is that my starters will likely combine for ~65 points of distro, with maybe 27-28 of them going to Petit.
