UVA Basketball Thread 11/23

Will keep this brief, because @dave92 has reminded me that it may behoove me to be a more productive member of society before the thanksgiving break.

Things I’ve liked so far on offense:

  • Getting more points off turnovers
  • Getting more 2nd chance buckets
  • Much higher usage, slightly more efficient Reece
  • Higher usage, much more efficient RD (and shooting well from the line!)
  • Shooting well as a team, esp. from 3
  • Blake’s offense in general
  • Dante as a change of pace

Things I haven’t liked:

  • Would’ve expected a bit more rim pressure (at least, I was hoping for it)
  • Not much ball screen except as a brief look in sides, or getting into sides, or the odd quick hitter
  • Not shooting nearly enough threes for a team that shoots so well
  • Dante as a change of pace mostly only leading to Dante shooting from the midrange

Hoping we don’t get into the Gard-Tony dance-off thing, where the one of them is like “You call that deliberate? I will show you deliberate!!” But I fear we might…
