Did I ever say he scores by posting up. You are backing my point. HE NEVERS gets the oppurtunity. For the millionth time, the Heat do not run post plays. If he gets the ball in the low post its random, not by design.

Like i've said before we don't run plays to him because its not a strength of his it'll be hurting the offense even more if we're constantly trying to feed an average to sub par offensive player. We're better when Whiteside plays clean up man. Every time he's playing with some energy he gets rewarded with touches but he's too inconsistent with is effort so you never know what you're getting.
See that's where I disagree, Spo doesn't run post plays for no one. Not even LeBron. To say Spo doesn't run plays for him in the low post because it will not be successful, then what's the excuse for running plays for Waiters that's gets him 15 shots a game at 33%? If you gonna pay someone 25 mill per, you should be allowing him to work it out on the court not Waiters.

I get that you would like to see Hassan more involved on the offense but your examples are to the extreme. Waiters averages almost 4 assists per game. He can penetrate and create for others. His finishing is suspect but he is someone who can create shots for himself and others. He is a low percentage guy but at least he can trigger the offense. Same with JJ, Dragic, TJ, Winslow, Richardson, Wade and Olynyk ( almost 3apg).
Hassan? Not so much. He's never averaged 1 assist per game until this season. Still an EXTREMELY LOW number if you are running the offense thru him. Now, you can say that he's never had the chance to playmake? I will disagree.
If you watch him play, he makes clumsy moves to the basket that often end up on fumbles. He is long as heck so he finished some of his shots but he NEVER looks for another action on the offense before he makes a move. How do you expect to run your offense thru someone like that? It's instant failure.
That is why teams have learned to stay up on Hassan because he is going to make a dribble move to the basket 99% of the time. Hassan can't back you down or does not use foot work to work the defender nor will he look to pass. Hassan will not even attempt a sky hook, face-up move or a mid-range shot. He says he was not allowed to. I call BS because he has done within the flow of the offense.He is just limited offensively.
His value is on grabbing offensive/defensive rebounds, blocking shots, making lane drivers uncomfortable and dunking on people when he grabs that ball off the air with his long arms. When he shows energy, he gets his 20pts 12 rebounds 4 blocks but when there is no energy, he is just average. His body language becomes toxic and mental lapses impact his one strength, defense.
I want Hassan to work for the team as much as you. If he shows consistent energy and does the things that he excels at, then I'll jump on the "get him the damn ball" bandwagon. I just don't see how that is going to happen with his current disposition.
