Getting Coffey into the flow

I'd like it to see Coffey get more touches early. One thing I've noticed in the 1 1/2 years as a Gopher is how few post touches he gets.

He is an adept finisher and 6'7/6'8". He is often times guarded by someone who is 3-5 inches shorter than him. He is also a very good passer so double teams wouldn't frustrate him that much. I'm not asking for him to be a post or get 10 post touches per game, but maybe 3-4, especially early, to get him involved and keep the offense varied.

Would like him to get more rebounds...

He plays on the perimeter and is told to leak out when shots go up. Not many rebounds to get

I saw a progression yesterday that I hope will continue. Started with upping the effort of the defensive end, progressed to some failed aggressive drives, progressed to a few drives where he was fouled and shot and made free throws, progressed to drives where he scored and had &1 opportunities.
Coffey is at a pivot point. He's had a pass first mentality and his future depends on him being more aggressive. It doesnt come naturally to him, but given we no longer seem to have a low motor Murph, I'm going to think we'll see Coffey turn a corner this year.
