Make thread with new videos!!!
You sure of that? Maybe he was, as you mentioned, but today Danny Green tweeted he was having lunch with Butler and Richards.
Doubt Butler and Green went to the UK just to chill.
Anyways, I know for a fact he spent most of his time here in SA. Glad he's working out with Spurs staff and he looked good in the videos.
His doesn't look awkward down low. I wonder how good his defense is though.
He's in SA now.
His free throw release is horrible (standard Spur Big)
And his defense is also lacking against local guys can't imagine how abused he would get on that end in the NBA... On a positive note he's got some nice post moves good footwork and ball handling skills for a big, nice range as well (going by the recent youtube vids)
I don't expect a guy to be very physical on the defense in a practice 2 on 2. I mean seriously. It looked to be more focused on executing quick three dribble pass or shoot plays.
His free throw mechanics are wonky, but that is something he's developed on his own. A shooting coach can spend quality time retooling something like that.
He elevates and at times kicks out his feet too much when he shot jumpers in the videos. You could usually tell a majority of the time by that, that he would miss his jumper. When he released with more set and his feet underneath him, he had a much more fluid stroke.
His inside game during the back facing the rim drills looked decent. He struggled at times releasing the righty hook, but overall all looked decent. He doesn't need to exert any effort in getting in dunking on second chance mishaps when he was inside the lane. That was nice to see.
Overall he looks to be a promising prospect. Curious to see what he does overseas in the summer and if the ing lockout wasn't going to happen, I'd get a nicer look during summer league.
ing hate lockouts. NFL and NBA.
