HOU game // side thread // Bojan turnover counter

[NAOS]

3 turnovers in his first stint. HOU’s defense seems perfectly tooled to eat him alive.

This is the biggest weakness to his game. I almost made a thread before you.

He should never try to attack RoCo

 

[NAOS]

He barely touched the ball in his second stint.

sometimes he's got an awkward dribble and pump fake you just know he will turn it over

It was fine.

Bojan redeemed himself like a ************

He turned fat Houston guts over and made them puke

Love the guy. Need fewer TOs and more rebounds and he'd be perfect. But he's awesome as-is, too.

Thankful for him, I wish he would hustle more for loose balls and rebounds. not complaining though

There are a couple things here. First, he has a bad tendency to put the ball in front of the defender and allow them to get hands on it when he drives. He also isn't strong enough to hold onto it through contact so it gets stripped easily. On top of that his ball-handling skills are good, but not great, so he tends to bobble it when he gets into traffic.

That said, he also gets hit a ton with no calls. He gets bodied and gets his arm swiped with regularity and frankly I'm inclined to claim he might be the most-fouled, least-called higher volume player out there, definitely on our team.

Bottom line, he needs to improve his hand-strength and/or ability to cup the ball when moving through traffic on the way to the rim, and he needs to learn some tricks to keep the ball away from the defender on the dribble-drive. He also needs to work on finishing through contact and making the moves that will help draw the fouls, like swiping his arms upward through the contract to draw the attention of the refs.

But in the end I'm happy with his play in general. He brings something we've never had, which has been very effective despite his flaws in this regard. I'm ecstatic to have him on our team right now. He's a winner and that is what we need.

And plays like that shot last night burying Houston go a long way to taking the sting out of his mistakes with the ball. I think more often than not it's a positive thing for him to have the ball, rather than a negative. And I'd tell him to keep being aggressive. It's a driver for us as a team.

LOL, there is a TO counter thread of Bojan but not Joe? TF?

Joe is the biggest offender here. Dude throws more IAP's Per 36 than anyone in the league (I made that stat up ((I'll advised passes)) and the ranking league wide........its Monday, I can do whatever I want!)
