He looked really comfortable, and even though he was mostly using the jump hook to score he was very patient and started to learn how to use his strength to create space for himself.
Since then he's really regressed in that regard, not really sure why. I feel like he may end up remaining a garbage man & pick and roll finisher mostly, only posting up when he gets super deep position.
I mean if Dwight never really developed a dominant post game after all these years (he even trained with Hakeem in the offseason and had Hakeem and McHale as coaches during Houston), I don't see Dre being able to develop an above average post up either.
And Dwight was physically dominant and was basically mini-Shaq putting up mini Shaq numbers at one point. I rather Van Gundy invest Dre into being a elite garbage man and elite roller even further. That will pay more dividends than "let's overfeed Dre shooting subpar numbers" for the next few seasons.
I personally don't think Dre will ever be an elite post up guy.
