I agree that the most efficient offense is when our post players stay in motion instead of just camping on the block. BUT in Summit League play Miller, White, Owens, & Nzekwesi all have effective FG% over 50%. Only Harris has an effective FG% over 50% among guards.

I question how much you guys look at stats. Our bigs are terribly inefficient. "pounding the ball inside" is a bad strategy unless you have post up players who score more than 50% of the time. The reality is you need balance to win. We've had a lot of games where the offense stunk because we spent the whole shot clock trying to force the ball inside. The bigs have been hot and cold scoring inside (mostly cold). However, they have been very good in chasing offensive rebounds and getting put backs. Notice we are much more successful when our guards are dribbling off screens and bigs are moving and not stagnant. The reason is no matter where the shot comes from there are lanes to crash the glass. Our best offense has come off dribble penetration with motion to the basket. Whether its Sam, RJ, Ruder, Tray or Eman. All capable. I agree you don't want to fall in love with the three. But there is a big difference between "chucking up 3s" and taking good open looks. Kearns and Ruder have the highest adjusted FG% on the team because they can hit some 3s. Downside for Sunday is Denver has been kyptonite for outside shooting. Our three main guards scored a COMBINED 3 points last time. I hope that was just a fluke.
