Worse, I'm not convinced it's just Prince. The offense seems to be geared towards pretending that you're going into the post and then turning some other direction. A possession often starts with a big man posted and either a guard or Prince ready to throw the ball in. They wait for a bit to see if a double is coming, then break out of that and look for a screen. And of course, no one doubles because the pass never happens.
It removes all notion of the post man becoming a passer and looking for cutters. That only ever happened when Webber was here. Seems like just dropping the ball down there early in the clock every now and then might pay some benefits, but it doesn't seem to be how the offense is structured.
