4.Deangelo Allen is the worst player on this team. By far. He is complete garbage. 0 ball skills, no size, no blocking out and rebounding. 0 shooting. Honestly misses more wide open layups than he makes. I don't think it is any coincidence that our best game is the one that he didn't get in at all.

I completely agree with this. I vividly remember a missed put back he had on an offensive rebound. Didn't even touch the rim.

One thing I noticed, I don't know how versed everyone is in basketball, but the guards aren't catching the ball in triple-threat. Every time you receive the ball, you are supposed to at least have a threat to 1.)shoot 2.)dribble/drive 3. pass. Our guards catch the ball around the perimeter and are literally only looking to pass. That's why you always see defenders in the passing lane. If you aren't even threatening to shoot/drive, it makes it that much easier to disrupt the passing lanes. It's frustrating, because it's so fricking simple. That is basic basketball knowledge. You literally learn that in middle school.
