RECENT UPDATE:
vs Regal Barcelona: he showcased his offensive potential by scoring 26 points on 10-18 shooting from the field. At this point, when we all know that he can drive by or shoot over his defender, he is starting to fascinate with his ability to play the point, cross-over defenders at will and create some great looks for his open teammates. To make his team more competitive and effective he needs to get rid of the ball faster on certain occasions and try to exploit his vertical leap superiority more on the offensive boards – 26-11-2010 |
