He's fine flying horizontally to the basket. He "just" needs to get more minutes under his belt and turn the corner more often so he getts those whistles when someone pushes him slightly when flying at max speed.
Of all the publically available media mocks, they still had the best performance by all statistical means...
Once Wiggins buys into Thibodeau's defense, he'll outperform Porter by a mile.

There are prospects who can do both tho. For sure. Like Wilt Chamberlain and LeBron. If you look at some of Lillard's best moves slicing right past Rudy they're all off 1 foot.
I jump just as high off 1-foot as off 2 and it's very effective in pickup games, once u get a feel for brushing the defender back on their heels or leaning the wrong way, it's a wrap.. layup drill.. cookies.. I'm also a lefty so at my LA fitness when I drive and slip past the defense usually some of the regulars will yell "GINOBILI"
This is one of the reasons why when I first saw that kid Robert Williams years ago, I knew he was really a player to watch and just had to be underrated (I saw him on a good day i guess, cuz I dunno how in the world he wasn't ranked higher even back then)
U gotta see this 7-footer Mitchell Robinson that will be in next years draft, he's 1-footed J and super-duper light on his feet, it's something u almost gotta see to believe --- For players with his build it results in him blocking jumpshots on the perimeter. Anthony Davis is also a great example of this..

Ya as this applies to Exum there's nothing to worry about. When u can beat your man as badly/thoroughly as he can with the blazing first step. thats all you really need.
Stephon Marbury was great at all this stuff.. Doesn't mean he was a great NBA player (he was at one point but for the Knicks(given his pay-grade) he was toxic... and come to think of it exactly the same for Steve Francis.
so in this draft u have Dennis Smith who's very explosive off 1 foot. Terrance Ferguson off 1 foot.. Frank Jackson 1 foot.. I could go on.. It's not the be-all end-all tho..

I;m not sure if they still recommend this but if u wanna get better at it i'd suggest hopping up stairs on one foot. at first it'll seem akward but u get your balance, I can fly up a set of stairs, 2 stairs at a time, on one foot.
Even if it doesn't boost your explosion (it will) your stability/control will increase even more.
Also while we're on the subject if you're talking approaches before liftoff. Vince Carter is an absolutely PERFECT example. his form is impeccable.

DX came out with the John Collins video. Kind of seems like an Enes Kanter type with better feet/more bounce but less size.

Anigbogu keeps rising up the board. He is up to #17 now.
Where is everyone who said Bam > Ike? It was like the whole board vs PG_AB and I.
It really wasn't that hard to see.
