Agree with Card Fan 13 and Outsider Fan. Switch JD and Monty and this would be a formidable (but flawed) team. Imagine watching a team that actually managed to set screens, maintained spacing, got players shots in spots from which they're effective. Where they played in rhythm and with a sense of court awareness.
Farm93 points to the root cause of my JD caution - this isn't Duke west and it's not going to be Duke west. Fields' senior year gave some hope - even though we weren't good, it was clear that JD had adjusted to maximize the team's success. That was a .500 team with 1 1/2 D-1 players.
Those days seem long ago now. For the last two seasons, what has been the offensive philosophy? What are we trying to do? Early in the year, it seemed we would be a driving, pound-it-in-the-paint, free throw shooting, opportunistic 3 squad of offensive rebounders. That ain't what's on the floor today. What happened, JD?
Sigh...
