Well I think the bigger point here is that the players themselves might not be the problem. Cory Joseph just had another big game against the Clippers. Nobody is mistaking him for an All Star or anything but all season we watched him dribble around aimlessly looking like he's only vaguely familiar with organized basketball. It's an affliction which has creeped into all of our guards in some form or another and it points back to some fundamental issues with our offensive sets. We had a couple of stretches this season where shots were falling and we piled up assisted baskets but were let down by our defense. By and large though we basically have one or two action sets and then guys are expected to just improvise from there. That might work in small doses but it's not going to work if you replace a large chunk of the rotation with new players or if you can't consistently space the floor with high percentage shooters or if the defense knows your sets and beats you to your spots.

I’m not saying that Luke is great. Part of Corey’s problem is our front line is journeyman level at best. When you are starting guys that couldn’t get off the bench for play-off teams perhaps your issues are in the front court.

Remember we got Barnes for Justin Jackson (who is out of the league) and ZBo who was a retiring expiring. For all the crap Vlade deservedly received he made good trades.
