[QUOTE="Skip Jansen, post: 2743227, member: 73777"] Let me add one additional thing about Kevin offensively. As I mentioned, KS was and is primarily a ball screen/pick and roll 5. I should have mentioned how good he has become at it, in a very short period of time. I watched closely last year and his reads and timing were spot on most of the time. He did it while working with multiple ball handlers as well. Have to be in-sync with your teammates for it to work, and he was. By contrast, when JD would have to play the 5, he would 'Slip' the screen (in pick & roll) almost every time. (Not his fault. He was playing out of position (out of necessity). Well... slipping the screen is a 'read', it's not a pre-determined motion. You 'slip' the screen when your defender wants to 'show' early on the hedge. When the screener sees his defender is 'even' or 'above' him (not behind anymore), he 'slips' to the basket because now the defender is trailing. Obviously, the ball handler is reading this as well. Hopefully he makes an on-time pass to the screener for a 'dunk"(as mentioned). Kevin would make this 'read' correctly most of the time. Very good for such a young player. Now, why all that gibberish B.S.? To show his importance to the offense. I didn't want it to seem that I was being negative about his skill set. He's very good at what he does (and going to get a lot better). [/QUOTE]
