Jamal is the best at finding Curry, but when his shot is falling he also spreads the floor.
Right now we are in the worst of all situations regarding Curry. isiah has stagnated the offense so the D can set and collapse on him, and at the same time Jaml is out and Q and Frye are bricking.
So the sum total is the defense keying in on Curry and daring us to beat them from the outside, which we can not.
We've been surviving lately on Marbury's outside shooting, but we know how streaky that is.
Our main hope now is the offensive rebounding on Lee's return. High percentage outside shooting from Steph, Q and Francis is sporadic at best.
I think we should try to open up the offense with some running to try to exploit the athleticism of Lee, Balkman and Curry, but which PG can do that for us? Nate?
So true. This is what I don't get about Frye. I mean, his shot is off because the defense knows all he can do is shoot. You would think he would be able to develop a good head fake so he can drive to the hole. I have yet to see him cut to the basket. Fine Frye can't dribble but can he try a jab step for once.
As far as Lee. We need this kid back fast. Think about it. We have Jeffries, Balkman, and Malik all which we can see can not really knock down a shot. But the difference is Lee knows how to cut to the basket. Lee's man will not leave him open because he is never standing still. He is always trying to cut to the basket for a basket. So it doesn't matter if Lee can't shoot. This is what Jeffries, Balkman and Frye have to learn to do.
