True he does have tools, probably just needs to get his feet to keep up with the SG's of the league.Psubs said:I think that he's better at guarding SF's than SG's. He needs to work on his ball-handling to be as effective as Artest offensively. He played SF and some PF in college. I would love to see him post up guys like Rose does. Also would like to see at least 1 alley-oop attempt per game.
Defensively he's gotta layoff the handchecking. He's got all of the physical tools to be a lock down defender but just needs to work on it. Next year should be fun!
With regards to adjusting, I still remember the first 15 games or so, he would be called for that offensive foul when he uses his off-hand to shove the defender as he drives. He has broken away from that habit, and hopefully he can now start easing off that handcheck.
Back to your point about the Rookie Wall, I do feel CV and JC are going through some rookie wall stage, however I seem to feel by Mitchell giving CV and JC less minutes, it doesn't help them any to get over this. I would think the best way to get them past this is to play them. However I could be wrong, have rookies in the past just played through this or did they need a year to be seasoned into the rigour of the league. The amount of games they have played now in the NBA, in comparison their college season would be almost over.
Nice to meet you by the way psubs.
