It seems like few returning players have improved over last year. Thankfully we have ledee.
Butler, trammel, Parrish at least offensively have not improved and probably reverted.

He shoots when he shouldn’t and doesn’t shoot when he should. He’ll pass up wide open looks early in the shot clock only to take a contested shots late.
I hope he turns it on as we really need him.

Parrish…

How about we blame the coaching staff. Parrish shoots the ball because he usually ends up with the ball at the end of the shot clock. Its like a hot potatoes. This year both of our guards have shyed away from big shots. If he doesn't shot it then i don't know who else will shot it besides Saunders. And with Saunders I can spray paint the two spot he will make his 3s. Both are from the top of the key where he can shoot and bank it in.
I might be a complete maroon, but isnt the PG and SG suppose to be your best shooters. Same goes with our PF they are typically the best rebounder.

Think you also expect your 3 to be one of your better shooters - Matt B last couple of years . who was able to create his own shot and draw a lot of fouls
Waters was also doing well over 40 % on his threes until his injury - Waters was also over 90% on his FT's before the injury
Parrish - DT - Butler - Pal - Bryd are all between 27 - 31 % on threes - most un contested - open shots they can not make
Might it help if they drove to the basket more often to get themselves into a groove - SDSU is last in MW in three point shooting
Parrish is not just taking the end of the shot clock - he is taking numerous shots early in the clock - shots are are going to be there as the opponents concentrate on doubling or tripling Ledee - so the guys are open
SDSU is decent at Ft's but except for Ledee not getting to the FT Line that often - Saunders and Waters over 90% - Bryd - DT over 80 % - Pal - Parrish - Ledee all over 70% Butler is only 55% and Heide about 33%
So know who you are and play good team basketball - getting the better % shot - the staff knows Ledee will be doubled so work on set plays to free up the other guys who have to move more without the ball to get open for better % shots - maybe even a FT

"Some guys don't know they are open for a reason" --- Chick Hearn
This applies to Parrish in a big way, his shooting has been abysmal and there is no other way to spin it.

SDSU as a team is at 31 % on three point shooting close to or at the bottom of the MW - and many of those uncontested threes
But one of the better FT shooters led by Saunders and Waters over 90% Bryd and DT at over 80% with Ledee - Pal - Parrish - all over 70%
go back to playing good team basketball - movement without the ball - make the extra pass - use set plays

update: 0-6, 0-5 from 3. feels like a joke. Honorable mention to his two absolute brick free throws that allowed the game to go into overtime. He might be a great guy, but he is not a good player. He needs to be benched, but I am sure Dutcher will just keep hoping he becomes a better than 30% shooter from the field.

I think people are being too hard on Parrish. He’s in an elongated slump, but he can play and shoot. He has done it many times.
I’m a fan, and believe he will get back on track as he only has a few games left in his college career, I’d hate to see him go out on a downer.

Parish is not the only player who couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat.
The production has dropped for a ton of players. Some due to injury, but it’s not fair to just focus on Parish.

The problem is that the staff has been so focused on how to get LeDee the ball that they completely forgot about getting Parrish and Waters involved. They are basically jacking up 3’s and they have much more to offer.
I don’t see Parrish coming back because of the offense. He’ll go somewhere else and probably average over 14 points. It’s really a shame because this team could be so much better if it wasn’t so LeDee focused.

Plus it would make Ledee’s life a little easier if other guys were involved more in the offense and consistently producing.

Stealing from a previous post, and the Aztecs have only shot 30% from beyond the arc in 18 MW games. No surprises when you see the numbers (conf games only) Over 30%*Saunders 24 of 65 37.0% *Waters 22 of 64 34.4% *Byrd 13 of 38 34.2% *LeDee 5 of 15 33.3% Under 30%*Butler 14 of 50 28.0% *Trammell 14 of 52 26.9% *Parrish 23 of 86 26.7% *Pal 5 of 19 26.3% *Everyone else 0 of 6 0.0% Team Totals*Aztecs 30.4% *Opponents 31.6% FYI for all of you that said we didn't need Keshad Johnson, well he finished with 11.5 PPG & 5.8 RPG and shot 53% FG, 39% 3FG, and 73% FT. So, Keshad was 31 of 80 for 38.8% all year long. Everyone please stop with the Keshad spiel. He was the 4th option on Arizona and had wide open shots because of the opposite defenses are double other players. Utah game they didn’t even guard him at the 3point line. He really wouldn’t help this team as much as everyone think he would.

Keshad would have never been such a linchpin as assumed. Even he was, that is overlapping certain areas where LeDee is at. Keshad is neither a creator of offense nor a center like Mensah was. He would not shore up a deficiency. And that is no disrespect to Keshad, just an examination of our team and if his being here would be some cure for what ails us. He would not.

Watch the way DJ Burns of NC State welcomes the double team. He is a really really good passer.

What if we had Ike or Washington, Johnson?? We will never know, so move on and live in reality. Hit a few shots, FT's, cut down on TO's and keep rebounding.

Can't draw up more wide open shots then some of the ones that they bricked.

Kinda like our football QB's--they rarely, if ever, seem to improve & in many cases have gotten worse. Gotta be coaching, right?
