If he keeps developing his mid-post fades going either left or right it'll open up his game even more than simply adding a three-point shot (which is obviously important). No one can block his shot on his release point and it'll make his life way easier in a hotly contested playoff game when teams will park 2-3 defenders near the paint. It coincides nicely with his improvement and addition of low and mid post play. Bud's implementation of Gianni and Middleton using the entire court to work their game is a low-key excellent coaching decision.
After watching the highlights this was a clinic. His low-block footwork is getting better as is his decision making in reading the defense. Like having the timing to drive baseline or work toward the middle. His talent and ability are awe inspiring to be sure, but I'm noticing so many little nuances that he's added and improved in that is a joy to watch.
Anyone else noticing his very Duncan-like ability to know when to throw a hammer down and when to just finger-roll the ball in or flush it softly? It's the little things.

. Noticeably absent when Bledsoe got full reps in that OT Washington game earlier in the week.
