Pond and Lovett are great offensive players who will even be better if the frontline could do anything. Without scoring up front they are hampered by an inability to pass to someone who can finish, only Ahmed is adequate but he is still a work in progress. As a result they are doubled constantly, a problem. Defensively we must improve and the problem is not just bulk and lack of talent......I see too many 50/50 balls going the other way......lack of hustle. Yakwe and owens are good shotblockers but poor rebounders.....often when they rotate to attempt a block the opposition gets a dunk or layup, rest of team is not rotating to cover the weakside. Defense must be improved, stay in front of your man, take charges, rotate to stop penetrations, and especially box out. Gonna be tough tis year with the lack of bulk, skinny asses don't box out to well. Too bad drinking age is 21, need beer to go along with pizza to bulk these boys up.
