2005 had 5 guys that could score. You could not leave anybody open on the perimeter. The ball moved like lightning with the extra pass to find the open man.
Dee, Deron, Luther, James and Roger
1989 had 5 guys that could score - the three pointer was not popular back then
Nick, Kenny, Lowell, Steve and Kendall
Last year we looked to Ayo and Kofi - everybody else was complementary and only took wide open 3's (except for Andre who took layups)
This year we looked to Alphonso and Kofi - the offense would stagnate when opponents triple teamed Kofi. The 3's were not wide open and Andre was not available.
next year if Kofi does not come back it could be very exciting or very difficult
-- 1989 Jens Kujawa 7 ft went back to Germany after 1988 season so the Illini could no longer pound the ball inside
-- 2003 Brian Cook graduated and went to NBA. Self took his high low offense to KS and we got the motion offense from Weber.
