Turnovers were always going to determine how far this team goes. Consider this: we're *third* in the country defensive rebounding rate, and 27th in three-point shooting. Those two things together — limiting second shots, and effectively getting half an extra possession by making from three — should make us a very dangerous team come March ... if we weren't turning it over more than pretty much anyone. It doesn't matter how well you shoot if you aren't getting shots up.
Our ball movement isn't great, guys aren't strong or decisive with the ball, too many possessions end with Bryce having to bail us out with 8 seconds left and him getting the ball for a high ball screen. Now, Bryce is spectacular and can make this work well enough for us to win a lot of times, but it doesn't give us as much margin for error as we should. We need more assists, more easy baskets. Everything is too hard for us right now.
This far into the season, I'm not sure the solution to that is. Maybe a few small wrinkles to try to generate easy plays. Some of it might just be a confidence thing, so that could make a difference.
