Kobe plays the high post at times because he a tall guard and has a beautiful turn-around jumper. T-mac plays more out on the flats and way from the key, but i guess if that's what people are calling the high post then sure....i think t-mac is more effective there then probably taking 3 pointers. but you are right, it will stagnate the offense. unless it's done with time running down on the shot clock or in clutch situation - i don't know....i thought everyone wanted t-mac to be a peja type player.
There are plays that start there. It seems like that when he gets the ball there, he's just looking to score.
Agree. And I think we will see more of it when he's healthier. Right now he really doesn't seem to be that aggressive in trying to score, which I can only assume is because the knee still hurts, and conditioning is an issue. I don't think Yao in the high post at times is a bad thing. It keeps him fresher and gives the defense different looks.
Wait wait wait....weren't you on here earlier asking for proof about him actually playing at the elbow?
