We were a pretty high scoring team the last few years, and I expect a lot more this year.
That Big Dog guy (I HATE THAT TOO) looks like he can play offense, so can Niles apparently.
With Zeke in the middle, we did not have that much offense. I mean, he did average double digits, but at seven feet tall he "should" have thrown down 20 a night.
That is NOT a knock on Zeke, just a statement of fact. The first three years he was missing dunks (!) and never had an outside shot. He also was never that great at putbacks.
Zeke was what he was, one of the all time Zips greats. But with Pat or especially Big Dog, we WILL have more offense, and probably more rebounding as well.
I do not blame the rebounding on Zeke - KD had him out the the three point line playing defense, so he was often not in position for a defensive bound. He did what the coach told him to do for the good of the team.
But THIS year, we have big guys who can shoot and bound. Should be very interesting.
And yes, we WILL give up a few more points per game so we better be good offensively.
