He used to have great hands/hand technique/dexterity. Precision. He now looks like he’s always just trying to get the ball up near the rim and hope. Part of that is balance and strength. He’s not going up strong, not going toward the rim—playing with too much finesse and not enough power. Maybe he’s always being fouled low, and his legs aren’t letting him keep his arms in the right positions.

Some of it is the defense but a lot is just Jesse.

To keep harping on the same idea: I mean, who on the staff can realistically be counted on to teach a drop step? It’s one thing to know what one is. It’s another thing to understand the nuances that lead to executing it against a competitive defender. Bothers me, also, that there doesn’t seem to be any semblance of a plan to help him— either by getting him in spots where he can execute, or diversifying his game. A face-up 8-footer? That’s basic. When was the last time we had a center who actually shot facing the rim? Everything is made more difficult by the scheme or lack thereof.
