The largest portion of blame can be put upon Pressey for the last minute failures, but at the same time, the people calling that play are also designing the rest of the offensive possessions, and the lack of creativity in final possessions is not all that different from the offensive spell we go through when the team stands around the three point line.
When we need a bucket we generally clear out and dump it into Oriakhi in the post. It's good strategy, but it's not indicative of a crisply executing offensive team.
Look at the difference in the clean looks on last year's team, which had worse athletes off the dribble, and this year's team, which should be able to drive and kick or finish on nearly every possession.

I don't disagree (except for the Oriakhi part...I think he's terrible when you dump the ball to him in the post. We do it to keep him involved, but that's another conversation altogether).
That said, part of our offensive strategy is to penetrate, get the ball on the rim/glass, and let our bigs clean up. We get nearly 40% of our own misses back.
