That and he couldn't establish position in the block and concentrate on catching the ball. He would be too busy fighting for position and fall forward when the ball was coming at him.
No, its not just that. Ive seen him fumble a lot of passes. Even in New York he was known for his bad hands.
would you be able to dribble the same way with a tennis ball as you do with a basketball? What about shooting? It's good to a certain extent. Obviously if your hands are too small you'll have problems handling the ball, so bigger hands help, but to a certain extent. Eventually it becomes problematic. You have to be more exact to grab a smaller ball that's clanking off the rim, than you would a ball that's more appropriately sized. Guys with really big hands have always had problem shooting also, except for Yao and he's got the perfect shooting stroke to fix that problem. Hill's issue may be hand size or it could be a combo of a tight hand musculature AND hand size. If the muscles that close your hand are tight then he's always going to have semi-close hands, therefore he'll fumble passes.
i even have dinner with J-Hill in a Thai restaurant, when the waiters give him a grain of rice, he couldn't hold it in hand....... not funny, isn't it? quite bored am i now.....
Now that i think about it thats exactly whats wrong with him because i have seen him mostly fumble passes that he's not expecting.But when he knows he is to get a pass and time to open his hands he catches the ball ok.
He'll be fine.......it is mostly a strength issue and that will come with offseason conditioning and strength training.
That's all you got from my post, seriously?? It was an obvious exaggeration to get my point across. To hill an NBA ball is probably closer to one of those arcade balls are to us. The same principle applies, you have to be more exact with your movements.
