Not bizzare, makes perfect sense considering how few years he played organized ball. Jumping into a defender for a prayer is a chronic problem with kids at younger levels. I feel like he never got it corrected.Meliorus wrote:tontoz wrote:He has this bizarre habit of jumping weakly into defenders around the rim and throwing up a prayer. He needs to go around defenders.

I try to educate you guys with the correct terminology to no avail. Him and porter both have poor center of gravity while dribbling with the ball. they don't have, their high center of gravity robs them of agility needed to read an opponents momentum.
They both would be outstanding picks if Ernie Grunfeld had a solid plan for greatly improving their center of gravity while dribbling but Grunfeld was clueless because neither player has improved since their rookie season.
AGain key work low center of gravity while dribbling the ball---they both are like monster trucks---one hard turn and they are off balance, wall and beal have low center of gravity which allows them to make tight ralley car turns and slip by defenders effortlessly instead of ramming into them like oubre, porter, morris, and gortat due.
It all is based on low center of gravity and only one person in organization had the power to force his assets to develop this ability. That is grunfeld. not brooks, maybe ted, but no one else in that organization had the power and grunfeld failed to bring --- to bring in world leading experts on how to significantly improve lower center of gravity while dribbling.
this is the new idea that i bless this board with.
so crashing into defenders is 80% related to both oubre, and porter's high center of gravity---- paul george is great because he can lower his center of gravity to an elite level. Can porter and oubre be trained to lower their center of gravity like paul george. why can paul do it and oubre and porter can't. this is the true realgm question that we experts should be asking.
pay attention to how paul george drobs his hips everytime he does a dribble move. Oubre and Porter don't and can't drop their hips... can't drop center of gravity...either too lazy...not of enough quadricep power--squats--or athritic knees? either way... the end product has to be drop your hips--lower your center of gravity for an extended period of time while dribbling the basketball. If grunfeld has no plan for his assets, then he should be replaced. He made the right move in getting the rare and skilled 6'8 player, but he needed a finishing plan for lowering their center of gravity otherwise, its like planting a seed a, doing all the hard work and then pulling out the corn stock before the corn is fully developed.
just watch his hips before every complex dribble move and he is 6'9. same height has oubre and porter. go and watch oubre and porter hips, and you might one day take grunfeld's job.
This is the type of insight front offices should be stumbling across when they come on Real GM (yes they do come on here).
