The starting lineup, and the lineup that receives the most minutes, should be Efe, Williams, Archie or Stroud, Edwards, and Hawkins. Off the bench should be Stroud or Archie (whomever doesn't start), Tarke, Boum, and Verhoeven. Vila should not see the floor except in cases of extreme foul trouble.
The staff needs to create plays that put Williams in position to score. And Williams nerds to learn to take opportunities given to him. In the last few minutes he had the ball in his hand and, at one point in the play, had an opportunity for an open mid-range jumper. He instead kept dribbling the ball into the post, where he drew a double or triple team. He forced a pass to Vila, which was stolen. This isn't the first time that I've seen him pass up looks hoping to get better ones, which, with the double and triple teaming he often receives, doesn't usually work.
Hawkins sometimes play aggressively, trying to push the action. He did this late in the first half, and we turned a six point deficit into a three point halftime lead. Sometimes he is content to pass the ball around the perimeter, without attacking. This rarely yields positive results, and is the way Nigel played most of the second half. We need the aggressive, energetic play from him.
