How would having to basically play 4 on 5 on offense not hurt the offense?

I respect @SoberasHotRod 's opinion a lot, but this take that Cody doesn't tank the offense because he doesn't do anything is so bad.

If Cody doesn't touch the ball that's a win.
If he didn't take the shots it's the same thing....
No one guarding him destroys the flow of the offense.
It hasn't this year.
It hasn't this year, not an opinion.
This is why people need to stop using individual +/- to try to make a point.
You don't even seem to know what point I am making.
You aren't making any points outside a small sample size that doesn't address reality. We have eyes. We all have eyes.
It's exacerbated with Collier because he doesn't get guarded either and worst of all he actually passes to Cody.
I'm just checking in and catching up. I'm looking at the box score, and Cody got a layup blocked (which is not unusual) and missed a 3PA (which is also not unusual). Otherwise, did he do anything spectacular?
That's definitely opinion. And if you believe he can only hurt a team so much because he doesn't do much, logically that must apply to other seasons. If it's true that a player cannot a hurt a team much when he doesn't touch the ball I can't see a reason as to why that would only apply to this specific situation.
