in Andy Katz's new updated Mock Draft>> Why the hell would we be looking for a "face the basket" type player? Isn't that a main reason why we couldn't win in the 4th quarter of close games last year? Everyone of our players are face the basket types including all of our power fowards! (Im holding out hope that Griffin will develop into one as long as Rudy doesn't force him to Robert Horry) One of the only things we should be looking for is a post presence -- not more of a isolation, predictable and high turnover prone offense! milo _______________________________________
We need to nip this in the bud and debunk this....The media are all saying that Yao has no post moves and that he is a "face the basket" kind of scorer. Since I had not SEEN any footage of Yao I believed them. But then the mighty CLUTCH put up that video highlight pack of Yao Ming that showed Ming doing almost ALL of his offense with his BACK to the basket in the low post! I was very surprised! Ming plays with his back to the basket folks! Sure he can face up but he does have a POST UP game! Ming is not a shot-blocker, plays with no intensity, has a face the basket game etc etc....it is ALL BS from media types that really don't know a THING about MING! Chris
