My four thoughts are all on the same subject tonight. Can you guess what that subject is?
- Eddie Jordan did not value the three point shot. He didn’t like teaching his team to defend it, and he didn’t value it on offense. You have to look at how he recruited to see what his strategy was: long, fast, and athletic guards who can turn you over and then get to the rim for dunks. He valued the three from the small forward position, I believe, but relied on quick fixes like Omari Grier. Since only Issa Thiam was coming in and Pikiell couldn’t find a shooter to play here, it’s really hurt this team.
