Relax

The only thing I saw different in those clips was shots going in, no spectacular plays, just guys making shots.

We have 30% of a season to show these guys can't make shots like previous teams. While its possible to turn shooting around, my guess is this is who we are and we aren't in some easily fixable slump. I'm most concerned with 3-pt shooting - but maybe last year was an exception because of Niang's ability to drive and dish and McKay's presence down low? If you look at Monte and Matt shooting stats, they are about where they are for their career percentage-wise this year. Naz is the concerning one.

I'd like to see the stats on the percentages when the ball was moving and the shots were off the pass, as opposed to the dribble around the backcourt and launch out of desperation.

I'd be willing to bet the former is higher.

The key is finding how to make that happen consistently, and sticking to it.

Prohm's advice to Morris to be more aggressive feels like the opposite of that since that sounds like more dribbling and less human movement...perhaps that's out of context though.

IF it makes anyone feel better but KenPom actually thinks we are underrated.

Under-performing?
 
Until someone on the team has a red frohawk we will struggle offensively.
