His specialty is DEFENSE and REBOUNDING. I fail to understand why so many people can complain about a guy who does what he's good at. He can give you 8-10 pts, but is a monster on the boards and defending the hoop. Why insist on being mad at a guy for not being someone else? He's not a 20 pt scorer. Use him to his strengths and get over it. |
Bear in mind that Pistons won back to back NBA titles in 89 & 90 and the Bulls three peat in 96 to 99 with DENNIS RODMAN as the PF, who happens to be 2 time
DPOY (at least, I think), who does not shoot much and a poor free throw shooter too. His specialty is DEFENSE & REBOUNDING too. Totally agree with you here, Low.
A good coach will play his players to their strength, especially good players (All Stars), not want players to play the coach's strength. Do you want your coach to make Shaq a shooter 12 feet away from the basket? Do you want Kobe, Lebron, Wade to spot up shooters? Shaq was never a good FT shooter, do you trade him away because of that?
