If you haven't noticed, at least generally speaking, the post-up just for directly scoring in the NBA now (I don't agree with all of Koremenos' analysis, but the stats are worth a look). There are exceptions when a post-up does lead directly and consistently into an efficient shot, but it is probably a better vehicle for passing and finding shooters and cutters than it is for scoring directly. Yet despite the data,
neue arsenal trikot 2012, analysts and fans will still claim that if there is a size/height advantage, one must be able to punish the mismatch through the post.
This is particularly relevant to Meyers Leonard's development, especially as a 4. Teams now know that Meyers can shoot from behind the arc, but if he can't post up, why not just hide your weakest/smallest perimeter defender on him? Or better yet, if you have an undersized power forward like Trevor Booker matched up with Meyers, let him abuse Meyers off the dribble while not having to worry about Meyers posting him up on the other end of the floor.
If Meyers is going to credibly guard 4s of all sizes,

Rolling to the rim: Meyers' general screening ability is not very good,

bayern trikot fifa pokal, it's not as if you need to or even should be setting the best screens in order to execute PNRs effectively. Meyers is still big enough to give ballhandlers the extra half or full second they are looking for. Against most 4s,

He is also quick enough to beat bigger 4s like Zach Randolph on the roll, especially if they choose to defend the PNR aggressively. If the player guarding him drops back into the paint? Meyers has shown he he can still finish in a variety of ways (i.e. short-roll floaters, half-hooks, mid-range jumpers) or use his passing and court-vision to find shooters and cutters.
The lob threat: Deandre Jordan may be a limited offensive talent,
bayer leverkusen trikot damen, but his effectiveness cannot be denied. Not only is he great at sucking in help defenders when he rolls to the basket,
aktuelles trikot borussia dortmund, but he also forces defenders to gameplan for his ability to catch lobs that come from CP3-Blake PNRs. Meyers is not quite as athletic as Deandre, but he has the necessary height, athleticism, and catching ability to be a consistent threat. Sneaking in along the baseline to be a lob threat would be a powerful way to make defenses pay if a smaller player is being hidden on him while he's spotting up in the corner.
Shooting over the player contesting his shot: This is how Aldridge actually exploits most of his mismatches. He thrives on undersized power forwards who can't credibly block his shot (i.e. Terrence Jones,
bayern m��nchen wembley trikot, Markieff Morris), casually shooting over them without any concern for how closely his shot is actually being contested. Meyers, on the other hand, is guilty of over-passing regularly at the sight of even the tamest closeouts. It's nice that he can pass and put the ball on the floor, but only a player of abnormal length can credibly block his shot without fouling. He has to recognize that in most cases, he should just be elevating over his man and shooting with no hesitation.
Hit the glass: Coaches are often stuck with the tradeoff of whether to go small and sacrifice rebounds or go big and sacrifice shooting. The stretch big solves this problem cleanly, provided he can actually hit the glass when he doesn't need to space the floor. Not only did Meyers shoot 3 threes in Game 4 of the Memphis series, he also hit the offensive glass and generated 3 extra possessions that proved crucial to pulling off the sole win in that series.
This isn't to say Meyers should never learn to be a consistent low-post scoring threat,
bvb trikot individuelle beflockung, but considering where his natural strengths as a player lie and where he can improve most quickly,
trikot wm 2014 griechenland, posting up is the last thing I think of. Even if he put in all of the hard yards and made post-scoring his highest priority, he would probably amount to only a negligibly efficient low-post scorer. Meyers already has enough on his plate in terms of areas to improve defensively but we know that he's tall, athletic, a great shooter, an underrated passer, and an improving rebounder. At least for the time being, it is probably best to allow his offensive game to organically grow out of these talents instead.相关的主题文章:
