More of Jordan Harris. I don't know what is going on with his pt, but he looks healthy on the court. Pulling him every time he makes a mistake isn't going to help at this point.

DO given the freedom to take the short jumper at the ft line. He has a nice touch and they leave him wide open. You also have Yante on the offensive glass. Conversely, get Yante at the top more. They usually don't double him there, he can hit that three, or pass down low to DO, who is more efficient on the block this year.

Some 1-3-1 trap, it is a good fit for our length, or passing lane 1-3-1, playing it as a passing lane zone late will force teams to eat up clock looking for a shot.

More plays for Claxton either up top,as his shot is good there, or busting to the ft line. More plays for Hammonds, either isolation or off screens. He is not putting up enough shots for the minutes he plays.

Put in whatever extra work required to learn help defense. We are being eaten alive on penetration too often with no help. I understand we don't want kickouts for 3s, but good help D is not just one man helping, but each guy anticipating where the pass is going and reacting.

Continue to play with out excess turnovers, which we've done lately, although the first half is usually poor for some reason.

Break at every opportunity, we have the guys to do it and take it to the rack. Just be aggressive and don't over pass around the perimeter and eat shotclock.
