THE WIZARDRY OF OS
There is good news on the basketball front, and that comes from LSU. It appears as though they have figured out a few things and gotten back on course. The scary part is that their margin for error is really small since they basically rely on four players in Days, Smart, Thomas, and Watford. In the big win against Tennessee, the bench contributed 2 of the 78 points.
It is tough to have success over the long haul this way. On any night, LSU is an injury, foul trouble, or any number of circumstances away from really struggling. Yet, it is easy to see why Will Wade is hesitant to play more than 7 or 8 players when the big four are able to carry so much of the load.
A couple of weeks ago, I put in a plug for Jalen Cook and it is clear that Cook is not going to be called on this year. Javonte Smart is probably the most to blame for that as he has elevated his game recently.
Nevertheless, someone else is going to have to contribute and it might as well be Aundre Hyatt. He started against Tennessee, contributed 8 points, and his talent fits the role that is needed. If Thomas, Smart, and Watford are willing to share the ball when they draw the attention of the defense, then LSU needs someone to make open shots in a catch and shoot role. That is what Hyatt does best.
Of course, the other skills LSU needs are defensive rebounding, guarding the ball, and overall toughness. Josh Leblanc delivers rebounding and toughness. At the guard position, Eric Gaines needs to provide some of that as well. Mwani Wilkinson is also supposed to bring those qualities, and that is why he has started most of the year. But none of them stretch the floor by making outside shots so it is tough to have more than one of them on the floor at a time.
LSU has been at its best under Will Wade when they are able to stretch the floor on offense. LSU´s offense is based on spacing, not ball or player movement. The spacing does not work when the defense does not respect the shooting of 2-3 players on the court.
Wade has always had great things to say about Hyatt´s work ethic and character. Unfortunately, injuries or other factors have kept Hyatt from being a consistent contributor. If Shareef O´Neal gets healthy, that could cut back into Hyatt´s playing time. But, in the meantime, Wade may have found a guy that brings chemistry to the offense and keeps the Tigers rolling.
