Roq - can't match up in the post and can't shoot, no help against a zone without shooters (see a pattern here?)
It had nothing to do with our individual players' talents, we were simply missing the necessary skill sets from others. Bottom line, you've got to have shooters to break any zone. We didn't last year, we do this year. It'll also help that opposing teams will have to play honest down low, because instead of having just one guy they could easily cover up, we'll have two, with two more behind them on the bench.
ISN'T TALENT AND SKILL SET THE SAME THING? AND WHOSE JOB IS IT TO GO OUT AND GET SOMEONE WHO CAN SHOOT?
