It's not clear out and one on one though. It's high ball screen pick and rolls for the point guard to either take it to the hole, draw the D at the rim and dump it off to a big, or if a perimeter defender sags kick it out to a 3 point shooter. With Clarksons scoring and driving ability and Browns 3 point shooting I think that's just fine as an offense for our personnel. It's also more NBA-like so you can recruit by selling an NBA style offense.
Too many of our fans equate "good offense" with lots of passing and movement and "bad offense" with less. But a good offense is one that gets a good shot for the right player to shoot it. Our offense may not "move" as much but it gets our 3 best guys shots. Quin teams passed it around plenty then tended to chuck a wild contested shot. Clarkson is hard to stop when driving lane and our offense puts him in position to do that.

I don't disagree in general, though we went away from the high screens and did go to more of a clear out against NC State, though in general you're right. And Clarkson is great at finishing at the rim. Definitely his strength.
I would disagree though that we dump it off to a big because our bigs are not contributing much offensively. We also don't kick it out for a 3 very often. The offense is built around just driving to the rim, whether it's there or not and hopefully either scoring or drawing a foul. Unfortunately, I don't think that is the strength of Brown or Ross and it leads to more turnovers than anything else. The only one truly proficient at it is Clarkson. I just don't think Haith putting an emphasis on both Ross and Brown going to the rim so much is smart.
OT - Any chance I could get ya to email the mizzou board email ATX?

Dear SECRant,
I would like to ask for your help during this holiday season to give a minute of your time to help the less fortunate by emailing NBC and asking that Auburn be moved to 12a instead of last. We've been last for so long that way too many children don't know what it is like not sucking hind tit. Here is your chance to help ease that suffering by emailing [link=(nbcsportshelp@nbcuni.com)]nbcsportshelp@nbcuni.com[/link] and pleading with them to throw us a bone and put us ahead of Georgia and tied with A&M. I could even make a strong argument that we should be even with State and in a 3 way tie for 11th but I don't want to seem greedy. No child should go through life constantly sucking hind tit so your support in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Signed,
The 50 or so AU fans worldwide that <3 the game they play with the round orange bouncy thing.
