IMO combination of poor shooting and overloaded defenses


With a sprinkling of Pedulla's freshman freelancing that convinced MY we had the capability to get downhill with our current roster.

We started putting a lot of effort forth on defense and teams were cheating towards the perimeter on defense (going over screens, switching everything, playing Aluma/Mutts 1 on 1 down low) which cratered our 3p%.

Pedulla realized that and started attacking aggressively which forced help and opened up our bigs to play their interior hot potato game. That's the strongest part of our offense so MY realized that and drew up a lot more ball screens vs high post entry passes to get switches and allow for space to get downhill.

I doubt we'll ever see a team ice our screens so the paint is going to be wide open ever time.

We're at the point now where we can punish any defense that isn't 4+ inches taller at every spot and hyper athletic.
