He was always a superior offensive player, it just that Wemby defense is starting to waxe and wane too (see his rebounding efforts/numbers fluctuations, dumb fouls etc..)
Someone on book of faces said his mother had passed. Either outright lie or confusing with his grandmother.
Flagg has been playing like that his entire life, from AAU to high school. His game is nothing new. Wemby is in the process of transitioning into a different playing style than what he played overseas. That's back to the basket or reading the game from double and/or triple teams from the elbows, etc. They allowed him to play free his first 2 years. This season you can see they're trying to tame him a little and put him in places they think works best for him and then allow him to figure it out from there. That's going to take time and won't happen overnight.
And at what point does he just get down on the block and make a loudmouth like this pay? You can’t let much smaller players consistently get away with guarding you on the perimeter. It’s just stupid.
To be effective on the block,you need to be able to move your defender. He can’t do that. They are basically defending him
He needs to be much more effective, catching the ball closer to the basket and there’s no reason he can’t. Catching it on the perimeter. This is why he gets stripped. It’s a long way down to the floor when he dribbles. And when he’s having an off night, he’s often just standing out there doing nothing. imagine if he developed a 15 foot fade away jumpshot like Michael Jordan? Nobody has any chance at blocking that. I’ll take that over bombs away from three any day of the week.
That’s a FT line jumper, exactly 15 feet, which is what I’m advocating.
But he has to work for position to consistently get down there. And I don’t see that nearly enough. Yesterday he’s standing on the perimeter by the three-point line. The defense loves that. Remember when LeBron James choked his ass off against Dallas in the NBA finals? That’s what he was doing.
He's 5-2 against Wemby and has held him to 16 pts a game. I think Wemby might as well call him daddy.
for the lakers or knicks?
If he’s healthy, he absolutely should win multiple MVPs. But it won’t be this season.
No no. He tries. He doesn't have the strength due to leverage.
Victor needs to study and copy LMA's midrange game. If he had LMA's midrange game he would be unstoppable.
LMA's midrange was predicated on him being an immovable object.
