We have 1 week and Pitt to get Roach healthy
Imagine if Duke had an elite athlete on the bench who could fill in at the dunker spot.I don't think Flip is a great one-in for a four-guard lineup, unfortunately. Beneath his big counting stats today was 6-19 from 2 and 6 Drebs.
I still think we're a much better team when he's on the perimeter screening and spacing the floor with Mitchell in the dunker spot than when we use him as a post player. I want our guards to dominate the ball, not stand around while we iso Flip.
I think my favorite post move of his has actually become that little 8-foot turnaround fadeaway in the middle of the lane. It's pretty much unguardable because he's 7 feet tall and he's falling away from his defender. Also, he has enough touch to consistently hit such a short shot.I should add, I'm sure there's a version of a 5-out offense with Flip and four guards that would kill. I assume it is would require more complex coordination and cutting and such, which is why we haven't really seen it pop up midseason.
I can appreciate the theory behind having Flip attack mismatches when the defense can't help without leaving shooters, but he's not a consistent enough finisher against any semblance of length/athleticism to justify stagnating the rest of our offense and preventing our guards from getting into a flow.
As a side note, I wish he'd unlearn his "surprise jump into defender, square up in the air, flip at the rim, and go for the rebound" finish a bit. It works sometimes, but I think he'd often be better off taking another dribble to gather his balance and finishing at the rim like a normal 7-footer.
