It is not a problem in any way, shape or form. They take good shots consistently and this offense is potent and very effective. Who takes bad shots on this team? Tyrese Rice, who uses 27.8/100 possessions and has a 60.0% true shooting percentage. Rakim Sanders, who uses 22.5/100 possessions and has a 52.9% true shooting percentage but has awful butter fingers. Because bad shots cannot be attributed to Corey Raji or Trapani. Again, this team consistently takes good shots within the flow of the offense and scores effectively. <BR/><BR/>The problems with this team are defense, which is at times embarassingly bad, and rebounding. When the Va. Tech was hanging in the balance in the last three minutes. BC could not even approach getting a stop. There was no toughness and noone could lock down Allen or Vasallo. Again, I just have to object to anyone criticizing this team's shot selection. If this team could find a way to pair just solid defense and boxing out with their good offense, the bubble could become a reality. But until that defense appears, this season is in big trouble.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09944235452592940784noreply@blogger.com
