Realistically a lot of kids have a down sophomore year. I would hope we would start to see a rise in Los' production as we move into the back half of the season but we may not. However if this spills over into next season we have a problem.
Somewhat the same for McCollum. Adjusting to Big 12 play from the Metro Atlantic Athletic conference can take some time. Non con for the most part I would say is comparable. But conference play is another beast. Again I would hope we would start seeing some progress by now or at least VERY soon.
The part I'm struggling with is coaching. And I have and am a PM supporter. Sometimes our offense looks great. Ball is moving, players are moving and high quality shots are produced. But for longer stretches, they're playing AAU ball. One guy is dribbling on the perimeter, one guy is screening and everyone else is standing still, quite literally with their hands on there knees sometimes. At this point in time I'd say it's safe to say the high screen and roll is 90% of our offense. That's problematic. I know fundamental basketball as we know it is almost all but dead but anyone with even a small amount of basketball IQ knows that a lack of movement makes it easy on a defense. Our offense is predicated on getting the ball to a given player and letting them try to make something happen. Two things I think would make a noticeable difference in our offense efficiency are: 1. More off ball movement. 2. Work the high/mid post more. When we get ball inside out we're highly effective majority of the time.
