Offense isn't the concern. LSU is inefficient on that side of the ball, but they still score more than enough points to win games because their faster tempo=more shots=more made baskets.
Defense is where this team is going to miss a guy like Musselman and where we hoped Trealor would be valuable. LSU greatly improved their defensive efficiency last seaon. That was as big a reason as any for their good year, and IMO will be the difference between a good year next seaon and a possible great year.
Because of Jones' uptempo style I don't think LSU will ever be super-efficient on offense. But that's ok, so long as they can lock it up on the defensive end. If Dupree (who played for a good defensive coach in Brady) can be the guy who helps LSU accomplish that, then I'm all for him!

I agree 100% and could not have said it any better.
And yes one of the things RD12 did was work his arse off on both ends. Very good demeanor for both a leader on the floor and a coach on the bench.
What I think will really help this team much more than last years team is the improved guard play. People knock Josh Gray for a lot of things, but he was one of the leaders, and coming from JUCO it is a lot harder transition than most understand.
Just more depth and for the first time I feel good about our rotation and our ability to play multiple guys at different positions and feel comfortable about it.
Wish Epps would not have had the injury he had, because I thought he was the missing piece. But with Robinson's improvements and noticeable weight change, saw him the other day in person, he looks better, the depth is there.
We also have an addition by subraction from the foul line, and a more balanced offensive attack. When you have the ability to have a lineup where you have 5 guys that are all between 6'4-6'10, they can all run, they can all guard multiple positions, and they can all spread the floor in different ways, it makes for a unique chance.
