Message: [QUOTE="STEVEHOLT, post: 1572812, member: 522"] "when hes 25 feet from the basket they double the guys he can pass to and don't cover him at all." 25? try 10. One of the posters calls his offense game robotic. That roboticism is a direct result of him getting the ball and expecting defensive pressure when there is none. They are literally standing under the basket and basically saying "what are you going to do about it". I think he's better off just being assertive, catch, one dribble, shoot. EXPECT to be open and the shot becomes that much easier as you are already in rhythm. Dont be fooled, all these guys can drill 15 footer after 15 footer when not pressured, if they are set and in the flow. Right now he's not quite expecting to be open when he catches the ball that close. The only solution is for him to either start hitting the shot at least at a 50 percent rate, or just stand under the basket and play 21 tip. [/QUOTE]
