He is easily the better shotblocker (4 blks), stealer (2stl) at this point than Jordan the Man Hill He can even dish out some assists, very versatile. I am sure he had a good season last year but as of now he is pretty good at being the backup 4. His defense could be better.
he doesnt use enough of his driving skill to set up fakes in the paint.. he could have guys flying up while he just dips under.
Sucks!! He doesnt do one thing well or exceptional. Go down the list of rotational players and each one can do something good to exceptional except Terrence Jones.
He's the best dribbling power forward in the league. His only issue is low motor. Yes he can have hustle plays like the one in the Miami game. The ability and skills are there but he takes off and watches too much. He is talented as hell and some disagree but I would attribute that to fanatic blindness. He needs JJ Watt lessons on playing every single play. 6-9 250 with hops and handles, guy is a beast below the shoulders. His cerebellum is good too, its just the rest of his cortex that needs help.
I even have to disagree about the "hops" part this season. He has had at least 5 ally-ops passes that he flat missed or simply caught for an attempted lay up. I'm not sure if he's playing hurt, lack of conditioning or just has no springs left.
What was Stromile Swift? I am not putting him in that category because he is already more talented but Swift was an example that has mad hops and close to zero substance.
Stromile was ATM who turned out to be JAP. That is to say, A TREMENDOUS FINISHER who turned out to be JUST ANOTHER PLAYER. (But....Stromile could actually shoot a basketball a little bit.)
What's the point of the first sentence? Nobody in the entire world would have any clue what those acronyms meant. It's like every one of your posts has a word quota to meet.
I have used JAP on here quite often. A lot of posters know what that means. Now I'm introducing ATM. That is to say, A Tremendous Finisher. Going to merge them into ATMJAP. Since there are so many of these kinds of guys around, both in the NBA and not in the NBA.
????This Season????? I agree he looks bad in pre-season but damn fellas! The season hasn't started yet. It feels like Lakers fans talking about Dwight. I keep reading "this season", "this year", "no improvement"...........WE DON'T KNOW YET! Yes, I'm concerned too and most have a point but damn I can't wait for the real season to start! Yous guys crack me up.
Come on, no comprison. Blake best finisher but no where near the handles. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/2rho-4WvBLo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/5Tq2tRvHeIk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
wait this for Blake <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/wkhZ0eC-EWA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I understand your sentiment but you dinged the wrong guy. I'm not generally bashing him. I'm pointing a specific question. Regarding his jumping ability, you can't compare him TJones to Howard as Howard was coming off surgery. TJones doesn't have that excuse. If you are an baller, and somebody lobs an ally-oop, isn't that about as good as it gets? Why would you not hammer that down be it the finals, pre-season or a black top 3-on-3 tournament? Kostas or even DMo missing 3's doesn't concern me. But passing up ally-oops is odd, unless something is wrong.
