The fact that some here are questioning this offense is laughable (to be nice). The mismatches and spacing created by using different size matchups spurred that run. And call Donte a forward if you want, but for the most part he played a guard role in the offense, just like he’s doing now in the G League. There were no true “forwards” that people traditionally think of from 20 years ago. Offenses are not the same as they were back then, both NBA and college now.
Two big differences have resulted in “struggles” this year so far: inexperience and poor shooting. A lot of wide open shots created....by the offense. Last year we were one of the best shooting teams in the Nation, with one of the most efficient offenses. If we start hitting shots like we’re capable of doing, both of those will be true again.
