I think I know the one you are referring to. He tried twice there. Bean just stood there dribbling about 8 feet away and did nothing with either.

Not sure if it is a different approach. I can't tell as the ball never gets there long enough to know what the set is going to be. We can see Tony and Treg and Mo go up to set screens but rarely are they used and rarely do we see the next progression of the play or options off what is available.

We got really used to seeing hi screens, down screens, cross screens, flare screens as DJ dissected the D and kept his dribble alive. We also got used to teams that used the screens and ball movement via the pass through a pattern to isolate a man for an open shot in rhythym. We are not seeing that and everyone is left wondering what we are running.

Most of all Saul.

Maybe there is something over here I am missing

I would go with the guys that work the hardest regardless of skill level. I would tell the team that the next time they don't work hard to fight through a screen they are coming out and will sit the rest of the game. I couldn't care less about winning another game this year if it sends a message to the guys who will be here next year and beyond. If this was a case of just not having enough talent to compete then I'd understand but when players refuse or are unable to run the offense as it's drawn up they sit. If they give less than full effort on the defensive end they sit. If the 5 hardest working guys are 5 walk-ons then I'm losing by 30 with 5 walk-ons.

There are different kinds of bad play. There is lack of talent bad play. Treg Setty gives full effort but some guys can just blow by him because his lateral movement is so slow. He plays for me. Then there is dumb play. Bean Willis runs into the same screen over and over and over. He sits. And there is lazy play which IMO is the worst sin. When he gets beat one of our bigs has to switch to stop his man but Bean shows no interest in blocking out the big that our guy had to leave and that man invariably gets the offensive rebound and putback. He sits. Right now IMO the message Saul is sending is that talent trumps effort.

Not any different than those who have gone before him. "Tom, at the end of the day your talent has to be bigger than your sins" Heard this before but I really do not get the same feeling I did back then.
