I don't know about that. If I recall correctly, most of the lobs thrown for his unfinished Oops were very bad passes. In fact, I remember saying to myself after some of them, "Man he had no business even catching that pass, it was so bad"...but he managed to catch the pass and bring it down. He is a rook...I'm sure he cares more about taking care of the ball rather than trying to do an oop off a bad pass.
I may technically be a "coach", but I have been around for years.

They don't have 7-footers guarding the paint in the dunk contest.

How could he possibly disappoint in the contest? Even if he loses to Gerald Green or Nick Young there is no shame in that, those are some great dunkers.
I don't get where people are getting the "poor finisher" label from. Most of the dunks he's missed have been on lobs that had poor passes. Kapono tried to hook him up a few games ago and threw a terrible pass that was a few feet behind him yet he still almost connected on it.
Why would he struggle to dunk on an open net? The fact that he's claming to have a few that haven't been seen before is encouraging, although some idiots will still be disappointed I'm sure.

nothing contest worthy there, but its hard to argue that he doesn't have a natural nose for the rim.
Dude has hops, and has swagger. You can count on him trying something ridiculously stupid!!!!

Kinda OT but I'm watching the CB4 interview with Jim Rome. It kinda ticks me off towards the end when Jim Rome asks him about the idea that he could have come back to the States to play in a "bigger market" but instead elected to stay "up there" aka here in Toronto. It's the ignorance of that question that irritates me. Since when is Toronto a small market? Toronto would have the be in the top 10 in terms of the city sizes for teams in the NBA. Just because we aren't in the US doesn't mean we are not a big market.
