What is going on here?!? Topic

I thought I had a pretty decent team coming into the season, even though I knew I didn't have that one star player who could score when I really needed it. However through 5 games my team is shooting 38.9% from the field and Im completely out of ideas about what to change. Anyone see anything that I'm missing?!?

Small sample size and a young team.

youth is a big problem, just 3 upperclassmen.  So you have the poor IQs to deal with along with the abundance of overhead room for improvement from most of your guys. 

But another issue is that it's not a great FCP kind of team.  ATH and SP are just meh, and the stamina is pretty poor to be honest.  Outside of Paramore and his 93 ST (off the bench I might add), your team's overall ST is ~70.  The stamina of your highest starters is just 77, and 2 guys have this.  And you're compounding this issue by playing uptempo in all your games.  Not good.  I'm seeing plenty of shades of yellow and worse in the stamina boxes in your games.  Not good.  You're also committing 5 more fouls a game than your opponent, probably a byproduct of the poor stamina and the hacking at the end of games when you're losing I'm sure.  But the stamina issues probably affect your FG% more than you realize.  

Lastly, Self is certainly underperforming, but I'd be running more of my offense through him and England, esp. given your youth.  I try not to rely on my freshmen and sophs too much unless they've proved to me they deserve a higher distro.

Thanks for the input jdno!!  Im hoping that the stamina of my young guys continues to improve as the season goes on. I honestly didnt think about the stamina leading to the higher rate of fouls, as I had just chalked it up to the low IQ's, but that is definitely something to think about. It just seems that we are really under performing this season.
