Anyone else noticing a slight hesitation at the top of his jumper?
Or is it just me?

His jumper looks worse than Kwame's FT shot
I was being kind :biggrin:Quote:

his ball control is very good for such a young player and he finishes well in the paint.
FTFY. ;)Quote:

Something just irks me about MKG. He plays like a really undersized PF with a good handle. That double pump shot of his quite fugly.
I'm a sucker for beautiful jumpers. I spent long hours of my youth at basketball camps and whatnot working on my jumper so I'm always a fan of guys who have great form. Guys like Ray Allen and Eric Gordon have been favorite players of mine and a lot of it has to do with how pure they shoot.Quote:

Fortunately, he's good enough to beat his man off the dribble and get the rack, crashes the offensive boards well, and is very good in transition, so he shouldn't be useless on the offensive side of the floor.
The key for him will be repetition. Bad form won't necessarily prevent him from making open shots as long as he devotes time in practice to focus on his muscle memory
he will definatley be a top 4 pick, my heartrate will be through the roof when David Stern is reading out who we select
