Is it just me?

[Slalomshocker]

Frankamp isn't looking to shoot all of that often, even when he does have a window to get a shot up. Maybe the reason he isn't filling it up is that he's passing up the shots in order to get other guys an even better look? I've seen CF turn down a good shot to get someone a WIDE OPEN shot too many times to count already through 4 games. The biggest thing you have to consider is what is the rest of the offense doing at these times that CF is open and ZB is not passing to him? Is ZB waiting for a cutter to pop open? An off ball screen to take place? Too often people watch the ball and don't realize/understand what is taking place away from it. I have not noticed any 'odd' behavior as it comes to passing to teammates, not saying it doesn't exist, but I haven't noticed. IMO this team shares the ball exponentially better than last year's team, which is why this team could potentially exceed last year's success.

Aren't we 4-0, with a scoring differential of +37? No worries mate!!!

[Shocker-maniac]

If there was a problem with Brown consistently not passing to the open man, the coaching staff would be addressing it. From what I can tell, ZB is a tremendous young man with great character, and he is not playing selfish. Marshall would not put up with selfish play, and this team is way too deep for a player to stubbornly refuse to follow the direction of the coaching staff. If this was truly a problem, ZB would be sitting on the bench. Period.

I confess to not having passed the ball to Conner... ever.

Ever since Conner got here, a certain wing player seems reluctant to pass him the ball, if you can guess who it might not be just me. I won't confirm who I'm talking about, just want to see your guesses.

Through out your life every woman that ever broke up with you said it wasn't you, that it was them. Trust me....It is you.

Anyone who reads and responds to William is worse off for doing it. His goal is to be controversial. I'm not even sure if he is a WSU fan but he sure enjoys poking anyone he can. There is no evidence for anything he said.

The coaching staff said over this summer that they want ZB to be more aggressive and look to drive the ball more (like Tekele). He worked on his handles and driving in the offseason. I don't think ZB is ball hogging. Probably just doing what the coaches are asking of him.

I confess to only passing the ball to him once. He wrote his name on it and passed it back, so I saw no reason to ever pass it to him again.

[Perezident]

Although it did seem like no one wanted to pass the ball to CF last year, I have not noticed it at all this year, and definitely haven't seen any hesitation on Brown's part to pass to CF.

CF does not get many open looks, and when he does still looks too hesitant to pull the trigger a lot of the time. Then ends up forcing some shots. Maybe this is due to defenses keying on the known shooter. I am confident that CF will be fine and proceed to drain lots of 3s this year.

[shock]

If Zach isn't passing the ball back, it's a good thing because it means the offense is working and there isn't a need to reset.

See, you might not be used to seeing real offensive sets. In Larrytown, they don't do that as much as just play playground ball. Whether that is because of collective BBIQ or laziness or both, idk. But here in Wichita, basketball is deeper than just throwing a bunch of talent on the floor and saying "Play ball!" So I understand the confusion.

[ShockerPrez]

I dunno if anyone on the team is thinking about feeding a certain player or not. What I see is basically up to 10 guys capable of putting the ball in the hoop and no one caring who it is that gets the job done. CF has shown glimpses, but has yet to demonstrate that he demands to get the ball whenever he is open to maximize his attempts. If we have that guy on the team, I would say it's McDuffie. That guy has shown that he can score inside, outside and everywhere in between.

[wufan]

What I've noticed on Brown is that when he gets the ball, he already knows if he is going to shoot or drive. When he drives, he does not look to kick the ball back out. I'm not sure that's a bad thing, but he has chosen to score rather from 2 feet rather than hit the open shooter on the wing.

[ShockdaWorld]

I'll take scoring from 2 feet pretty much every time. Exception being down 3 with seconds left on the clock.
