He should have taken it last year, and if Ott had been the coach he probably would have.

he's such an interesting player - im digging the crossover and him driving to his left but teams are already scouting him for that - if he can go to his right as well... google says he's primarily right handed

 

[Chaplin]

Just getting a simple midrange jumper would do absolute wonders for Oso. Getting a 3 point shot? Probably impossible, but man, the possibilities.

He just does all the little things, especially on defense, he's always in the right spot, cutting people off, defending the rim, boxing out. None of it is flashy so he goes under the radar until you look at box scores are stunned by how often he leads in plus minus.

Well, I say he does nothing flashy, but he's starting to show this hesitation dribble leading into a big ass 2 handed dunk. I think it's because defenders are getting scared of his passing ability (and rightfully don't respect his shot) so they're gambling that he will pass and he just blows by them to dunk it.

It depends on how far they sag on him, and he recognizes that. Lately I've seen it less cause they are sagging below the free throw line now.

the boston centers refused to meet oso out at the perimeter - it was so successful they started doing it williams in the second half too - just left them wide open up top leaving both oso and williams spinning on their pivot foot looking for someone to pass to

it also prevents our smalls from grabbing quick offensive rebounds which also hurt - williams can but rarely shoots the 3 - we need to figure this out with ball movement-

Something that has declined the last 10 games or so. We started off the season with ball movement and great cuts, now we are just living and dying by the 3, mostly dying.

no point book over extended periods puts a strain on everything - brooks and goody aren't creating the fast break points off steals and deflections - we've become very predictable

The inverse is hurting the team too, because Phoenix is missing shots these long 3s, teams are getting out and scoring on the break for easy points.

Remember when we used to cry about point Book? What I wouldn't give...

Oso's shooting and Dunn's D are the main issues these sophomors need to improve. Oso ought to abandon his forward leaning push shot completely. That worked maybe in highschool and college, but won't work in NBA where players are bigger and much more athletic to block it, and in turn force Oso to rush it.

He had two or three with nobody even attempting to block last night but I remember one was a little long and another way short. I think it's fine if he got consistent with them a la Hartenstein.

this dude is getting better and better - we're not dead in the water when williams struggles - oso's smarts and instinct is what this team is all about

lol. How may outside the paint? 0?

 

[Covert Rain]

I was fully prepared to call Oso....sOso this year..... but he has made strides. He really really needs to develop a shot outside the paint though to be a complete player or he is always going to be a situational guy or a guy that needs a ton of shooters around him to be effective.
