Dixon says he wants Robinson to be more aggessive and doesnt mind a few more turnovers

[Sean Miller Fan]

Clearly, he listens to us. He said this at his ACC presser when asked about Robinson's assist to TO ratio which is on pace to set the all-time ACC record. Dixon knows for us to be good, Robinson needs to start creating offense.

Wasn't this the case last year too? I recall reading many stories about how Dixon wanted JRob to be more offensive minded, more aggressive with scoring.

And then pigs will fly and Donald Trump will become President.


Oh wait...

I really felt JROB would have a healthy junior season bump.

He has two strikes - limited physical talent and a pretty strong passive streak, he just does not have that Fields/BK or Krauser type edge to him.

Maybe seeing the likely end to his competitive basketball career puts a charge into him.

I like JRob, he has that "knowledgeable" leadership quality and plays under control. Not flashy but almost always makes the "smart" play.. No need and too late to change this.. Asking him to now play aggressively is not playing to his skill sets.. Let guys like Artis and Young play more aggressively on offense, try and get something, ANYTHING, from the 2 spot.. That is where we will find a spark on offense, not with JRob..

Agree, just forcing a square peg in a round hole trying to make him force his offense.

J-Rob is a fine PG as long as he has talent to pass the rock to. Yes, he was probably best as a freshman, but that might have been the best team he played on

Lair offensive efficiency nerds "not pleased."

Sorry that some of us want to emulate the NBA champs.

How is "creating offense" not efficient? I think you are confused.

He is.
Layups are rather efficient.

JRob has not really been asked to "force" his offense. All Dixon meant (as JRob stated in Gannon post-game video interview) by being more aggressive offensively is that he shoot when he is open and not pass up wide open looks.

They did last year emphasise the need for him to drive and look to score more, which just is not something he is capable of doing with any consistency.
