Tweaking Offensive Issues Includes Dealing With The Four Spot

Unfortunately, no one on the bench has developed to provide any offense from the 4 spot. Puff, perhaps, but he is no sure thing (injuries, inconsistent).

I still think running more freelance motion is the best approach, especially with a veteran team. That with a personnel tweak could help a lot. But the former isn't going to happen.
 
That's cause he's a traditional 4.

Guy would get buckets if we posted him up off movement.

Then he would only shoot maybe 1 to 2 3s a game at the top of the key mostly.

As you probably know, you are preaching to the choir, at least as far as I'm concerned.
Full commitment to Carolina transition --- and yes, Hubert, even on MADE SHOTS --- needs to be the formula.
 
Thank you Andrew. Your article is by far the most thoughtful and fair article I have read so far this season. Thank you.

I agree that the article is a fair critique of the team dynamic! Nance has a typical 4 body, but doesn't seem to have the mentality to mix it up inside. If he hits those 3s he is golden, but when they clank he isn't contributing much. I think more time inside is a fix for him and more time with Puff in the lineup will also help! I also want to see what: RJ, Caleb, Leaky, Washington, Bacot or RJ, Caleb, TNick, Washington, Bacot could do together!

I like Puff but I think Nickel can help as well. Noticed with Puff, on those treys he is missing, he looks to me to be rushing his shot so he can get it off before the defender is able to recover back and fly at him. What would make his life so much easier is sell a pump fake and let the defender fly on by and then drive. Standard for the game, you shoot over space and you drive pressure and a pump fake is actually a legal move, USE IT!

The only way to develop the bench is to get them game time. That's what the first half of the season is for. Unfortunately Hubert didn't do that.
