I think Wes might actually score 6 to 10 a game on offensive rebound put backs. He is a good defender and a natural shot blocker who would help protect the rim. This might help provide a better defensive foundation, which might help our overall half court D. His jumper isn't pretty and he's not at all an offensive threat in a traditional way, but last year, the team seemed go on nice runs when he was in.
I agree the guards aren't guarding as well as they can or need to.
I agree our offense isn't looking very good and Evan needs relief. Between Wright, Johnson, and G. Smith (as well as Fleming who won't get by you but hits the open shot and Sistare who can get to the rim out of pure determination) I am sure they will figure it out and provide some relief for Evan. Are they running many special sets for Evan?

Longtime follower here, just getting into the posting game. As someone who spends a lot of time with the team (Grad student), this start to the season is a huge disappointment.
Our defense is horrible (I'm starting to miss Cormier) and Boudreaux is the only viable scoring option on the team. The only bright side is that as of ODU last night, we are losing by less. I can't imagine much will change moving forward.

I'll accept that if we played like we did against ODU at the Longwood and Marist games, we would have won. But that's not the way it works.
If Boudreaux can't go for whatever reason, we won't have a prayer against anyone.

I can't argue with that. We've put a lot on Evan's shoulders. It showed in the ODU game. They basically had every guy have a foot in the paint and a double team at the ready to stop Evan. He still managed to get double digit scoring and nearly rebounds though.
We have scoring away from Evan, but everything goes through him, which it should. However, that's not going to help if we ever have to play without him for any length of time.
I think the ODU game helped loosen these guys up. They were playing super tight. I think the freedom to play hard a foul and then be able to get back on the floor again gave the guys more rope.
