Have you ever had a team that, on paper, looks the part, a bit unperfect, but it never clicks. Something is missing, you can’t put your finger on it. I am going in the NT scratching my head...

Start Phillips at the point and bench Murray for sure. Campbell at the 2 and Glover at the 3. Swanson to PF.

Give me Kendrick at the backup 1/2/3. By far 6th best guy on your team IMO. Greco backup 4 and Murray backup 5. Bohon will be great but can chill this year.

No stone, no Jones, no Unger. Play slowdown to keep starters in, you are only 9 deep this year. Swanson at 3rd 3. Glover at 3rd 2 should work.

Campell can you give 30-32 minutes at the 1 in slowdown.

I assume you're talking about Pfeiffer. A couple of close losses there. But the first thing I noticed was the type of offense, foul-drawing versus three-point shooting. You draw a lot of fouls at the expense of threes. So I'd run a minus defense, and six of your seven losses were against opponents that ran minus defenses. Also I'd run slowdown against you and try to minimize your foul-drawing advantage. Either you or your opponent ran slowdown in three losses.

I think you've either got to commit to more possessions (and more fouls/free throws) with tempo or balance the offense a bit more, maybe based on the matchup. Everyone should rightly be concerned with Swanson, ringing him with more shooters might help. Campbell could absolutely shoot more threes.

Agreed. Glover and Campbell can make it rain. It'll free up your great bigs inside.

PG - Phillips - Kendrick
SG - Campbell - Kendrick
SF - Glover - Greco - Jones
PF - Swanson - Greco
C - Powers - Murray

Then fill in the rest with your other 3. You should really consider raising Glover and Phillips 3PT frequency considering you're going to be getting played very minus and because they can shoot.

Thanks guys. I never thought of the FT thing versus tempo. I was going back to Phillips at the point. One other thing tough to figure out is : we are not doing that good on defense and heck, it is a stacked defensive team.

That sounds like lots of my teams
