Ben Simmons and the isolation offense

Why don't we do this on every possession? Also, how does Ben only have 6 shot attempts the entire game against nc state? The iso is a no brainier in my opinion. Opponents would most likely double team him leaving someone wide open each possession. No one in the country can hold down Ben 1 on 1.
Our offense is abysmal as it stands.

Because they sag off him and he doesn't shoot.

He also had 10-12 assists. He trusts that the other guys can make the wide open 3's he gives them. Simmons + Horsby might be a nasty combo. Drive -> Dish -> Auto 3.

if he could just knock down a couple elbow jumpers a game. and we've got to get him some looks in the low post especially if they want to put a smaller guy on him or double when we've got the likes of sampson, tq, hornsby, blakeney on the floor at the same time

State sagged and clogged to take away the driving lanes and daring him to shoot. At this point he's not a great shooter and to his credit he realizes that and, unlike some others under CJJ, won't shoot until one goes in.
However, he did look very passive. Reminded me of LeBron at Cleveland in that playoff game against the Celtics just passing it around the perimeter and never trying to make anything happen. Strange.
And overall, sloppy and undisciplined...and pretty disappointing. A lot like that trip to the Bahamas last year. I had hoped the Australia trip would help early. Looks like we still have a lot to learn.

He needs to start playing like the #1 player in the country, and start being selfish. The way JJ coaches we will be in the same boat we are in every game last year and every other year he has been here. "If only we that type of Player we could win it all" well now we have that type of player and a good supporting cast but no coach to coach them up. A monkey could coach them to do the things there doing and get paid a lot less.

He does need the other 4 to help out too you know.

I will be saying this a lot this year. Scoring and shooting is not his game. He loves to pass and that is his first look then scoring. He reads a defense better than anybody in college basketball. The rest have to make their open jump shots especially Blakeney. That would open up the lane for Benny. Also Blakeney needs to learn when it is not his night he can't just keep throwing it up there. Get your teammates involved.
