Don't even think his offense is good. He was incredibly inefficient in AAU (with bad shot selectiono) and was only efficient in college because of him being essentially a paint big (and dominating tiny teams), though he did take a few jumpers (including some post fades that looked smooth and did a nice job turning away from DTs, but he had the mismatch). He's always thought he was a unicorn, which worries me a bit. Not a passer, either. I just don't think he's talented. Good rim runner, but agree with him not being a freak athlete - takes him a while to load.
Issues concerning his footwork, D in space (especially PnR), awareness (though improved from AAU).
We gotta stop calling one shoe tournament AAU. EYBL is just one tournament as is Peach Jam. They play a lot more games during the AAU season
I kind of assumed everyone understood what I meant, but ok. He was horribly inefficient in EYBL and was simply inefficient at Peach Jam. My point stands.
