No identity. With CWW in love with TW and Naz, he is forced to constantly sub when they struggle. Get rid of the three guard look, pick a starting five and adjust as the game dictates.

Smart(sub TW)
Mays(sub Edwards)
Taylor
KBW
Days

Use Reid and EW as game dictates. Key to it all is Smart running the offense.

Only change I would make is start EW over Taylor.

I'd say it's even more simple than that.
It's rebounding. Basketball 101.

Gave up 22 offensive boards to FSU and 18 to Htown.
If that doesn't happen, we win both games.

I agree. Seems like nobodys sure who the go to guy is so theyre all deferring to Reid, but he tries to make too many highlight plays. he's talented but not polished enough to lead the team, shoots too many 3's. Bigby seems to be more effective the times ive seen him. Waters is struggling with his new role. Smart is the best player on the team and the offense needs to go through him.


Also, I know nothing about basketball. Just a casual fan's view.

Lack of rebounding is killing this team.

Youth! The teams that have beaten us were veteran, talented, as well as well coached.

My concern with this team is you can defer to other guards and wings and they can give you better production then Waters is giving you right now. But with Reid, I'm not sure how successful this team can be without him playing at a higher level. To me, you keep hammering him and hope a light comes on in his head and he realizes that the brand of basketball he's playing right now isn't going to lead him towards being the best he can be. My hope would be at some point early in conference play he adjusts and becomes what we all thought he would be.

Take the cuffs off the young players and coach them hard. Tremont same skill used last year for LSU and useless on this years team. Naz is paying safe like he is a lottery pick, no intensity and passion for the game. Until these issues are handled , the team will struggle versus good teams. Hopefully they figure it out in the SEC. Long season left.

The Bigs dont seem to want play with their backs to the basket, I dont know if thats a coaching philosophy, or they all want to Magic Johnson. Too many guys not working the clock, and jacking up 3's. Waters has been MIA

No offensive balance
Fundamentally weak
Poor defensively (though I’ve seen some traces of better D including last night)

As much as I love what Tremont can bring to the game, I really think he may need to sit for a spell. He looks totally and completely lost.
