don't they realize when they drive and dish for a slam duck they are taking away shots from themselves?
I think Smith's biggest mistake was last year taking on both Roberts and Flowers. I would have never let Roberts start. Bring him off the bench. If he is hot, let him stay in. Between Flowers and Roberts they would beat the ball into the court. Then jack something up. If I was Efe and Jackson I would have been so pissed trying to get position down loa only to have them jack up a three. They didn't even know how to throw an entry pass. I would image either Smith asked Roberts to leave or he was exited to go in a different direction,
All this talk about Darling. He has the footwork to play man defense in the Pac 12. He wants to pass. Where he will either make it or break it this year is when someone presses us. That has been the achilles heal since Smith has taken over. Why we can't handle the press is beyond me. We have enough players with height to get the ball in and up court. Why Smith believes he has to dribble through a press is beyond me.
I have to say I do like the two freshman and how much they have improved in the last month.
