We are just a sitting duck offensively for any team to trap at the top of the key and force our sets farther and farther out because we pose absolutely no threat offensively at the 4 or 5 positions.

I just heard them say shooter (I could've misheard as this audio isn't very good on this YouTube broadcast I'm watching). Give him credit for at least being good on free throws .
