I agree, it's more of the exact same problem as last year. We don't have anyone who is a threat to drive the ball into the paint and crates for others or score at the rim. We have shooters (Davenport and Nolley who catch and shoot and DDJ who creates his own shot), some big men who aren't a major threat (though Kalu did the most on offense he has this season - which isn't saying a lot) and some complete non-entities on offense (Phinisee especially).
The scouting report is simple, don't let DDJ comfortably handle the ball, cover Davenport and Nolley closely (but if you lose track of Nolley it's not really a huge deal), dare everyone else to beat you and don't cover Phinisee.
