    I agree 100%. This idea that everyone should come into the NBA and shoot the long ball right away is overblown. Efficiency and learning a move that's a go to move for you is way more important. Learn moves around the basket or learn to launch shots quickly from the spaces available to you. I see the dunker spot as where he starts a lot of his scoring... either from the obvious dunk or some kind of pull up shot from that area on the court. That's usually like a 8-15 footer, right?

    The way for him to get the ball more is to steal it from the opponent.

    He will definitely get the ball more since his coach isn't Mike D'Antoni

    I thought that was Mutombo Jr. chasing Nash Jr. Pretty sure he was going to block the shot and then wag his finger.

    Going to play him like Nwaba and Tate until he develops a consistent 3ball.
