Also one thing that our offense is missing is the pick and roll. Its amazing how many picks we set for guards up top but never look for the pass. i think this attributes to the fact that no one has been hitting the short/med range jumper. Fulton has really been the only option with the pick and roll, which most of his 3s has come. Surprising he has been effective shooting when he has played. Give him more minutes??
Fulton brings some serious skill to the offensive end of the court. He has some great post moves along with his ability to spread a defense with his outside shooting. However, because of his injuries, he is a huge liability on the defensive side of the court. He also isn't the greatest rebounder, because he doesn't have the jumping ability that he once had. But I do think, when a team plays a zone, and you need a good high post threat, who can hit a mid range jumper or make the best pass, Fulton is the best option. Granted, he doesn't pass all that often, once he gets the ball :rofl:, nonetheless, he is our best passing big. Granted, we don't know how good Fuller is at those things, because there is a logjam at the 4 and there aren't a lot of mins. But I think he might be our next best passing big and zone buster. He has a solid outside shot and good court vision, just no experience at this level.
Personally, I think Rahe is using the wrong personnel to break zones. Bolomboy is a rebounding beast and when his heart is in it, one of our best defenders. Also, he is a put back machine. I love Hill's toughness. He is one hell of a scrappy player. He is, in my opinion, consistently, our best defender in the post, and we all know Tres is the man, but none of them can move and make the passes necessary for a high post man to break a zone. Hill can hit the outside shot, but whenever he shots, I totally cringe. Tres earlier in her career could hit the medium jumper, but hasn't been very successful at that lately. Bolomboy can't pass and can't drive. He has been developing a 10-15' jumper and is king around the bucket.
Fact...teams are going to play zone until we can beat it. Might as well mix up the options to increase our chances of forcing teams to play man against us.
