The diverse skill set of Kerry Blackshear Jr. has made for some challenging coaching decisions for Mike White as he decides how exactly the jack-of-all-trades can be used offensively. Possessing the ability to bang on the inside, pass the ball from the high post, or shoot from behind the arc he could be used in a bunch of different ways and finding out exactly what works best for the team has been a process that has required some trial and error.
At first the Gators tried using Blackshear as their lone big in the paint in a 4-out motion continuity offense, but the result didn’t see the ball getting dumped into the big man enough.
