Enes Kanter vs Nick Richards in the first IG too
Enes was giving him buckets. Great competition for Nick Richards though.
Enes is one of the best rebounder in the game. Very physical and high volume. His defense is one of the worst in the league.
Interesting they all go there to play. I should go join them.
I thought so too until Okafor got to the league. Remember this?
They both look good. Can't wait to see the meltdown when one of the two has a bad game. Any guesses on what poster will start the diallo is a black hole thread?
it wont be a black hole thread...you will get the flyby "no way is diallo a 1st round talent, if i was a GM i wouldn't take him" as they head off to their 2nd job as an uber driver.
I guess they were playing duke rules since he didn't get called for 8 seconds.
@ OP Thanks for the videos ; I love seeing stuff like this during the summer.
Why play defense when you're set for life?
Diallo travels on about half of those jumpers in the 1st one.
Both those guys can sky.

Great videos thank you. But, I wish they wouldn't allow them to dunk it. Yes, spectacular but just like the overseas game in Egypt, when it comes to set offense Diallo needed a lot of work. Great, players can dunk on a fast break, but how often is that really occurring against good teams in a tight game? Score a ton of points, dunks, etc. against the sisters of the poor but when you face a real top 20 team it is a different game. I would much prefer that they are working fundamentals rather than a bunch of dunks. Saw quite a few walks and even some hesitation shots by Richards as well. But, I did like they are mobile and with the speed they will do well.
I wasnt aware diallo was in different clothes in the 2nd and 3rd videos. Saw that dunk in the beginning of video 3 and thought "who the f**k is that? I wish he was on our team this year." Boner followed shortly after.
One. There was one jumper that could have been called for a travel. Exaggerate much?
Richards is only in his 3rd or 4th year of playing basketball. Wow.
False.
Learn traveling.
He takes more than 2 steps on jumpers number 1, 2, 3, and 6. He only shoots 8. That's literally half. 8/4 = 2. 1 in 2 = 50%.

It's during a dribble. You learn traveling bud. Every single player on Earth takes more than 2 actual steps between dribbles, but it isn't called because it's not a travel. It seem you know nothing about basketball.

Yeah I just rewatched it- if you even think the first catch and shoot was a travel you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about

go watch a basketball game
if uk fans were coaches, all the players would do during the summer would be jump stops, ball fakes, and free throws. and oh man would the recruits pour in.
I saw at least 2 maybe more in the video too. regardless he isnt close to being a fluid jump shooter.
False.

Incorrect.
Wait... @shaolin style is an SEC ref I bet. My bad. You do you, dawg. Earn that check. Everyone loves you.

He absolutely travels the first couple jumpers he takes. Takes 3 steps AFTER receiving the ball in the first 2 shots. Catches the ball, then a step, then 2 more steps to set himself If it was an actual jump stop, it'd be fine, but it's not. Then does 4 or 5 dunks leading to a dribble down the court, stop and pop, only he stops dribbling about 5 steps before his jumper. The first 2 you can maybe argue, I guess, but that other one is almost Duke level.
That being said, it's obviously a day working on his jumper, not footwork. It's more laid back and not so strict on everything being perfect. He's not going to completely replicate this in a game. They're working on his arms getting used to the form and his muscles adjusting to the needs to hit that shot consistently. Footwork is last thing on their mind. He knows how to and how not to travel when the time comes like any competitive basketball player over the age of 12.

Can I quickly interrupt the arguing to say that Diallo looks like he's dunking on an 8 foot rim? Man he can fly.
The team will really benefit from diallo having that extra half a year in cal's system..
LOL, at first I thought you were going to say the team is going to really benefit from Diallo taking extra steps on his jump shots.

This team will really benefit from diallo traveling on each shot. He's the new briscoe without the baseline. We need someone to get down on if they lose.
As long as ol shaolin is reffing the team absolutely would benefit. Hell, I'd be all for him just tucking the ball and carrying it like a football in that case.
Guess I've been watching too much NBA playoffs, cause that's a standard move. Either way, he's practicing. We talking about practice. Calm your travel boner.
Of course not, if he did he'd be counting his millions and be forced to pick up the tab more often than he'd like when he, Fox, Bam, and Monk went out because he'd be the richest one.
You're right. This 2 minute clip encapsulated their entire workout. These guys became consensus top 15 players without ever once working on their fundamentals, clearly.
