    Aggressiveness, blocking out in the post, block shots, and how to out-dunk Giannis next season. I have no hope for him to improve his FT%.

    The gold patch is bad luck. Get rid of it!

    I don't understand this. Clint's FT% has improved every year, and on average by over ten percentage points annually since his rookie season. One can be skeptical about the limits of his improvement generally, but why doubt free-throw shooting?

    You're right, it has improved year after year and during the regular season this past season he was 63%, which was great to see, but what happened in the playoffs when he drastically dropped to 50%? I can see playoffs numbers going down in general, but this is too significant. This just adds to the frustration with his performance in the playoffs.

    He needs to get his vaheena filled in so he doesn’t get raped by the likes of draymond. Jump hook would be nice. And ability to score one on one when needed.

    How about a Hollywood movie thing where we have CP3 switch bodies with Capela?? Just imagine.....the shot, aggressiveness, and B Ball IQ of CP3 in Clint's body.....oh wait that's basically Durant, so I just solved our FA, and cap issue in one post!

    It's both. Lack of skill and being pushed around scares him.

    Why can't the Rockets Hire a Real Big Man Skills coach.

    Carroll Dawson was the one that developed Hakeem Skills, Yao also.

    The Rockets hired Irv Roland for James Harden, why can't the Rockets find another Coach.

    Roy Rogers is just a terrible coach. The 11-14 start was Roy Rogers defensive assignment.

    Simple he needs to do ur simple things...

    Plus learn to do more Draymond things:
    1. Catch a pass at the top of the keybank know how to make the right next pass

    2. Catch pass at top of key. N get able to drive to the rim with the ball in lay in when u have a open lane.

    If he learned that he would be an allstar

    A jump hook would be awesome.
    Esp if he could do it with both hands but I think that is beyond him..
    In the playoffs he lacked some fundamentals
    Like not keeping the ball above his head....he brought it down too often.

    He definitely needs more strength.

    We don’t expect him to make hooks or be a Hakeem like presence, he could improve on both but we just need him to improve in one area. Kevan Loony is not more skilled than Clint, he’s just more of a man in the paint and wanted it more

    Call Dreymong and ask how to play the center position.
