If you could add/improve 1 area of this players game 

Post#1 » by aaron_gray » Tue Mar 24, 2015 12:51 am

If you could add a skill or improve one skill of this player what would it be for the following players:

1. Tarik black:

2. Ryan Kelly:

3. Robert sacre:

4. nick young:

5. Wesley Johnson:

Be realistic. If you want to say I wish Tarik could add a half court shot or I wish Wes would handle like kyrie, no one can stop you but that doesn't promote a lot of discussion.

Kelly = rebound
Sacre = rebound
Nick Young = court vision
Tarik = height

1. Tarik: a sweeping hook ala gasol or a floater
2. Kelly: overall strength or just hit he damn open shots
3. Suckre: his negotiating skill so lakers wouldnt resign him
4. Nick: passing or a post up move
5. Wes: shabazz-esque post game with hooks

Although the only realistic one adding or improving these skills are tarik and kelly

Tarik: Shooting touch around basket in traffic
Ryan: Ability to post, take advantage of height like Dirk, develop a go to shot like fade a way
Robert : Rebounding
Nick : Passing and better mid range game
Wes : Tap into his defensive ability better than he has

If Wes Johnson ever developed the confidence to just take it to the rack, he'd be quite a player. Poor guy just has cobwebs in his brain.

Black: Mid-range jumper/post game.
Kelly: Improving outside shot. He's been missing way too many open shots this year and he's gotta hit them considering that's about the only thing he can offer.
Sacre: IQ.
Young: Shot selection. Nick excessively chucks when it is not even needed. I would like to see him drive to the rim more and keep opponents guessing.
Johnson: Confidence.

3. Robert Sacre: Rebounding/Toughness
4. Nick Young: Basketball IQ
5. Wesley Johnson: Handles
