Our guards and small forwards can't shoot from 3 or much of anywhere on the court for that matter.
Our big men can't shoot from 10ft or even finish layups or put backs half the time. All they can do is rebound but rebounding does nothing for you if you can't get the ball in the hoop.
We're going to struggle on offense all season long. Looking at the roster, there are no legit scorers outside of Thorton and then Evans if he continues to play like this. Cousins is not a scorer we can rely on. Half the time he makes 2 bone headed plays for every 1 good play.
Jimmer should be spot up shooting at this point in time. Not trying to run the offense. The guy is supposed to be a shooter so take advantage of his strengths. He's obviously scared and nervous trying to go out there and rack up assists and make plays. He's supposed to be this lights out shooter but I'm seeing a guy that can't even hit a 12ft stop and pop to save his life.
We just don't have anyone that can hit wide open shots at better than a 30% rate other than Thorton. Pretty pathetic for an NBA team. Seriously, what was Petrie thinking outside of Thorton by relying on a quickly fading Salmons and an undersized rookie as our shooting threats? That's just a recipe for disaster and we're having to sit through it.
I never thought I'd say this but I really miss Beno right now. The guy had a very consistent mid range shot and a decent 3pt shot. Not to mention he did a good job of managing the offense and keeping things under control.
I really don't see how we can even be a mediocre team without having guys that can shoot. The coach can stop the drive and kick and implement plays but it's not going to matter if we only have one guy on the roster that can knock down Chris Webber range shots at a passable clip.
