I have to disagree. Turner has not been great lately, but I don't think it's because he is being selfish. We are really struggling to keep up our intensity on defense and we are not rebounding consistently. Turner does have to avoid some of the dumb plays he has been making, but it is not all on him.Until our Vol players, individually, decide to return to what made them an elite team there will be major obstacles from within - not from opponents. Nobody cared who got the shots. The key to O creation was Williams and Bone. They were unselfish to a fault and everybody moved in concert. The number one issue is and has been selfishness and Turner has been the chief culprit of late. But others are at fault as well.
It carries over to the D. Help D's need to work in concert. Triple teaming or running off the court on an opponent's 3 point attempt are probably not good options for playing D. Alexander not challenging shots in the lane is probably a bit silly, what other reason should he be in the game?
The sum is greater than the individual parts.
