With having so many scoring threats this season, something I've been watching and thinking about is where the offense is running through and who is taking our shots. At this point in the season we are starting to see whose playing efficiently and whose not.
The unfortunate reality at the moment is that Clark is leading the team in TOs per game (2.2) and bottom of the team in FG% (36%). Our one loss so far this season was when Clark, Vital, & Fred took by far the highest percentage of our shots. The top teams we play are going to copy this game plan and do whatever it takes to make those 3 beat them vs our guards.
Which is why its critically important that we continue to do what we can to get Clark minutes and get him back to being the player we know he can be. It maybe frustrating to watch at times and could cost us a game or two but the pay off of getting him back to being an efficient player could be the difference in a few rounds come March.
