USA exploited that in BG by throwing Evans around and doing a good job of working to front our players even on ball reversals. There were opportunities to feed the post, but guards must be decisive with the ball.
One thing Evans should have done is flopped like Vlade Divac when they did it. He can't out-muscle them. Getting position just got him tossed around. So accentuate their physicality and get the referees attention. |
They definitely handled us inside. It's a shame that Magley can't be more help to us. He isn't real quick on his feet and fouls too much. I wish we had Pegues and Japeth this year. What a difference those two could have made for us. Injuries are a part of the game though. I just wish we could have had those two guys.
Another thing that might help is if we could get better dribble penetration.
When Braz gets inside he often tries to score instead of dishing off. Of course, he has some great agility. OMV does a little better job dishing off but he isn't quick enough to get to the paint often times. |
