The problem wasn't that we didn't have any other options. The problem was that during our extended offensive slumps it seemed that nobody was willing to take a shot other than DJ.  Pretty much everybody who touches the court regularly can be a good offensive player but that confidence isn't quite there yet. At times it looks like everyone is afraid to make a mistake.

But so much of our offense depends on how our bigs are doing. If they are active and making things happen then Tommy and Nick are going to have big nights.  If they aren't then other teams can pay more attention to the perimeter and our offense stalls. We are also missing that second player who can take their defender off the dribble.  I think Nick, Ricardo and TJ can but they haven't gotten comfortable with the college level yet. TJ and Ricardo need to learn when to pull up because they both seem to get a ton of offensive fouls after beating their man.  I think Nick just needs a little more confidence.   But I think the offensive talent is clearly there to be a very good offensive club.
