Really Good MKG Training Video

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Worth watching. This pick is definitely growing on me. I think Cho did well.

Even his jumpshot has a speech impediment. Christ that thing is ugly.

ah well, here's to improvement.

wtf how can someone not coach him on better jumpshot form.

He holds the ball a split second too long. That's it.

It comes from the same "hitch" that has plagued LeBron through his career: they palm the ball when shooting, instead of keeping it solely on the fingertips.

And there's no way his jump shot is as bad as Rondo's and I'd take Rondo over any PG in the league.

Rondo, James, Wade, Rose, etc. They all excel in other offensive facets of the game which is how they overcome poor shooting strokes. MKG doesnt have the handles that the aforementioned guys had even when coming.

the only thing going for him offensively is his post game, which is pretty solid. Just take a look at gerald henderson, another defensive wing of ours. his offensive game will never reach that next level because his iso play is garbage, he has no handles, and can barely dribble penetrate.

If MKG is anything like Gerald or Iggy, he will struggle a good portion of his early career just to become an AVERAGE offensive player.

Bobcats basically drafted a high energy defensive guy with a #2 pick. Im particularly annoyed at that.

This is what other "real Ballers" call a Ballerholic.

What in the hell are you trying to prove here?

[Doyle]

I have to admit that is pretty impressive.

I just think he's trying to point out that in your disappointment with the pick you are failing to properly evaluate the player. MKG is not a great ball handler, but he is certainly better than what you are giving him credit for. He will also get much better. Another facet of his game that you severely underrate is his lightning quick first step and his blazing speed and strength in the open floor. He will be out running NBA stars up and down the court for big plays for years to come. I can't wait for people around here to start realizing that.

I watched Kentucky play maybe 4-5 times this year not counting march madness. Every game I watched MKG attacked the rim like he was pissed off.

Like Bismack he is still so young. The plan is that if he will be serviceable on the offensive end. The hope is that if he improves his offensive game to go with his speed/athleticsm he could be something real special.

[TylerDurden]

Wow. After watching the video, Crash was a really good comparison. His jumpshot is almost identical, they both pull them to the opposite side of their body by their head.

Also, his social anxiety wasn't nearly as noticeable in that video.
