A good defensive player may slow down a good offensive player but in the end the offense is gonna score. I understand that CKK wants to put a good defensive team on the floor but it breaks down completely when you have 2 guys that routinely score less than 5 points. Would you rather have Parquet hold a 17 pt per game scorer under his average to 14 pts and score 0 pts himself or have Hall play and let that guy score 22 but Hall gives you 17pts? Harkless gave you -14 in production and Hall gives you -5 its in production. Give me the offense.
No matter what philosophy you come up with you have to outscore the other team to win the game. Impossible to do that when you consistently have 3-4 guys you cannot count on to put points on the board. Going forward I would love to see 8-9 offensive guys on the team and CKK just has to tell them that the guys that play the best D will see the floor the most. Defense is a matter of pride and desire and anyone that is talented offensively can achieve a level of proficiency on that end of the floor especially if playing time is attached to it.
Recruiting 101, don't recruit anybody that isn't a scorer and can't make free throws. The only exception being a power forward or center that can consistently grab 12- 20 rebounds. One more time now, if you want to win games you have to score more points than the other team and if you only have 1 or 2 guys you can count on it is soooo much easier for the other team to come up with a scheme to slow them down and win the game.
Give me more points!
Pay attention CKK
