    Default Gerald Wallace deadly near the basket

    It seems as though nearly all of Gerald Wallace's points comes from right under the rim. I know he gets putbacks and dunks but does he always score from right under the basket?
    He hasn't got a 3 point shot but he does takes the occasional 3 pointer which is basically his only shots from away from the hoop.

    Am I right in saying this?
    The Camby man can. The Camby man can 'cause he mixes it with his 'D' and makes the world fear his blocks.

    Gerald Wallace is mainly a dunker and he does make some 3's when he can't drive the basket and when no one else is open for the ball. He's the man ..he is quite entertaining..he should be in the dunk contest

    He's not a major jumpshooter if thats what your asking. He'll take some, and some go in...
    What to do, what to do...

    He's most effective when he drives - and he's still improving. He's learning (with the help of LB no doubt) to play to his strengths. Him driving to the hole is a higher percentage shot and it also puts the other team at risk of getting into foul trouble (see LMA and Oden last night).

    I'm stoked that LB has made him cut down on is J's. I'm stoked that Crash is shooting his ft's at a clip of 80% (the highest of his career!!). I'm stoked that he's not just dropping his shoulder and trying to go through defenders (which used to result in being called for offensive fouls all the time) and instead is using a change of direction and spins. I'm stoked that he is rebounding at such a high rate. I'm stoked we still get to see his help side blocks. I'm stoked that he is looking to pass the ball on the break at times.

    Pretty safe to say I am stoked.

    All these people that have been saying Crash is in LB's dog house and he wouldn't be able to conform to the LB way - I've been saying it for months. I bet LB is over the moon with Crash. He's done everything that LB has asked for him and more.

    crash seems to be recognizing when he can use the drive...cause i saw a few times where he had rudy and he blew pass him...same when when he had a bigger PF on him....his game does look like its getting a lot better
