Because we have no PG to get us into any sets. Once we lost Krampelj and his ability to get to the rim, we also have zero inside game to force teams to help inside opening slashing and passing lanes. We had two glaring weaknesses coming into this season, PG and Post. Martin was a welcome surprise in the post that helped cover up our lack of PG. But without him our lack of a BE caliber PG is all,the more glaring. We simply have no room for error. Marcus has to be full on beast mode and Khyri flawless on defense for us to be in any game. That just isn't going to happen every night. Unfortunately, there apparently is not one other guy on the team capable of picking up the slack when those 2 guys aren't on all cylinders.
Mac may have wished he had gone to tOSU last summer, because if Martin doesn't get back, Khyri goes pro (many boards have him first round), and if either the PG recruit isn't the next coming of Trae Young or they work a miracle with Kaleb Joseph this summer, we are going to battle to be out of the play in game next couple years.
