Mudiay's fundamentals are poor. He's off balance much of the time when he goes to the basket. Great PnR feel though. He needs some time with a good player development coach.

Great skip passer in the PnR.
I think his ceiling is low though, I don't see where sizeable improvement will occur. He'll be a great passer, but other than that - where is he going to excel? Doesn't look close to athletic enough in the halfcourt to become a great rim attacker. No dynamic speed in transition either.
I am jumping the gun on breaking down his game, but this is how he's played the past 2 years

Leaving his feet under basket and then looking for the pass target- I had a feeling that that wouldn't fly outside of summer league. Plus, he really needs to figure out what to do when guys go under screens on him, unless he can improve his jumper overnight. Was a tough matchup for him tonight though, for his first real NBA action.

yes good point, the jump passes were very successful in SL but got him in trouble tonight.

Interesting that Jordan Hill is looking much better. Still standing out there taking too many long 2's but he's actually rotating defensively and wholeheartedly contesting shots. Also active setting screens.
The PG13 experiment at PF didn't look half bad. It was the young guys off the Pacers bench as well as some weak guard play that sort of gave the game away.
I noticed stamina issues, lackadaisical play(which i usually attribute to stamina issues) last year at UK.
I swear I have been seeing more kids coming into the league with stamina issues..
And yes of course we know that Willie has Sickle Cell trait and that may play a part. I honestly doubt that he's been half assing and not taking his training serious.
yea. Stamina and injuries are just something that I'm very interested in , in 2015

OMG, Drew Gooden is still in the league. I saw the Gooden III at the back of his jersey and wondered, is that Drew Gooden's grandson? Looks just like him.

Whatchall think of Okafor so far?
Pretty good so far. Couldn't miss from short mid range, something he couldn't do consistently in summer league, and over a tough defender in Gortat. You could tell Marcin wasn't respecting him in the beginning, just letting him post catches. After a few buckets, he changed to fronting him, and made it tougher.
Had a nice run and finish in transition. Bit of a ballstopper though. There will be possessions though that they waste too much time getting it to him in the post. One time he basically took the entire 24 second clock, got it poked away, and had to jack a three.
Defensively, there was some good and bad. Decent on ball lateral movement inside. Some possessions he was just standing there doing nothing. Could show some more effort on the glass. To be expected from a rookie big though.
so far, he's looked like the #1 pick. _________________ "Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money & position in society are the cups.
