Kris Murray is not ready for primetime as of 12/6/22

We all know that Jordan Bohannon was somewhat of a polarizing figure to many hawkeye fans and it was time for him to move on, but i will say a couple of things that this years team is missing from him:
1. his threat from distance helped our spacing of to the offense so much. passing lanes were bigger and cutting lanes were bigger.

2. no one was better at or worked harder at cutting to get open for his shot. That also opened things up by messing with the defensive rotations. The team this year does not have anyone close to this ability. In fact last year we had two guys that could do this in Keegan as well.

These two factors are not nearly as prevalent with this team. Peyton if he was hitting his shot would help, but so would anyone hitting their shot but not happening right now.

We do have the ability to drive some, but until we hit some layups that will not matter.

I am hopeful that as the season goes on we learn how to do some of these things better and also shoot better and things will look up.

Totally. CJ Fredrick was the same way. Those two never stopped moving which does a few things things. Causes switches on defense, tires their defenders out and if making shots forces the other team to play honest on defense instead of clogging up the lane.
