Who's gonna provide dribble penetration?

[John the Jerk]

Well we stole the game from the Bobcats. While watching the game it became obvious that with Jameer out were gonna need someone else to provide dribble penetration to setup our spot up shooters. Who on our roster do you think can provide this?

 

I don't believe Lue or AJ can get into the lane consistently and Turk uses his length and angles to drive to the basket but throws up way to many contested shots. I don't find it any consolation that a lot of these end up as a dwight putback, Hedo and Dwight need to do a better job of kicking the ball back out instead of forcing up contested shots in the Paint.

 

Lee has an explosive first step and is as quick as lightning but he would rather throw it down on someone than to provide a shot for someone else. The Boy is Fearless, he looks to throw it down on ANYONE. This leads to him getting Swatted alot and being a rookie he's not gonna get the benefit of the doubt or even a Fair call. Can Courtney stay agressive while still looking to create for others? Lee's handles are good but I think this is why so many people don't see him as a PG. I'm sure the game will slow down for him in the future and he may be able to be converted to a PG, but that time isn't upon us.

 

I think Pietrus could provide this much needed penetration and give our stagnant offense a boost. He would just have to stop trying to play Bogans old role of jacking up 3 afer 3. He's got the athletic ability to create for himself or others by taking it to the basket. We Signed him to the Full MLE so he could exploit some of the creases in the defense that dwight and our shooters create.

 

What do you think?

I would say Tyronn Lue, except he doesn't have Jameer's ability of not getting blocked near the rim.

Keep feeding D12 the ball. I saw great offense from him tonight. If he continues to score 30+ and playing great "D", all Shard and Turk have to do is manufacture 15 ppg each. Pretty soon teams will start double teaming Howard and the three and mid range will be wide open again. I would like him to get Wilt Chamberlain touches.

The reason Jameer got such great penetration is because opposing guards couldn't risk defending it by going under screens because he was almost automatic with that jumper.

 

All guards have to do now is go under the screen knowing that Old Man River can't hit a shot to save his kids. Hence, no penetration lanes.

Sadly, our best drive-and-dish penetrator right now is JJ. Because of his shooting skill, defenders come out on him hard at the arc; this gives him the ability to fake and get into the paint. However, from there, he really isn't scaring anyone as a threat to score. On the other hand, he has shown that he can pump fake, drive and dish the ball out if anyone bothers to defend him on the way to the basket.

If we still had Donald Royal, all of our problems would be solved.
