is lamarcus aldridge not a good post player at all? the guy rather shoot fadeaways rather than putting his head down and bully guys. i know that's not his gm, but cant always settle for the jumpers. the only guy that could do that was dirk, but he matured and was able to have a post gm.

He's never really had to utilize it as much because the outside game is that good. But you're right, not really the better part of his game.
I think he can do it when he wants to. I'd guess the groin injury might just be taking a toll and the ASB will help him out.
BTW, if someone has the highlights of Al feasting back to basket last night on Dallas it would be appreciated.

It will be their undoing. The curse of every great jumpshooter is that they can fall in love with the jumpshot. Thats LMA in a nutshell. Dude didnt even try and work David Lee in the post, the supposed "worst post defender in the league" Dude shot jumpers that whole game until the 4th when he wasnt going to crack ten points, then posted and got two foul calls.
No one should really want to see LeBron dunk anymore, I know I dont.

i see alot of rasheed wallace in him.. he does have an effective post game, but he doesnt use it nearly as much as he should
and sheed fell in love with shooting 3s, aldridge is in love with shooting long 2s

Yea I love LMA but when that jumper ain't falling he starts looking real average.
The difference between him and Love/Blake is that they will still put their heads down and get a bucket

Al Jefferson has proven this season that he's the best low post scorer in the game. And it's not that close.

The bulls are REALLY doing themselves a disservice by trying to make the playoffs this year.

Happy for Anthony Bennett. Maybe he stopped eating 6 meals and 10 mass gainer shakes a day without working out.

Another solid player emerging for the Grizz. Rookie Nick Calathes
Since the injury to Conley (6 games):
35.8mpg, 15.2ppg, 4.7apg, 4.7rpg, 2.3spg, 3.0tpg, 53% FG, 43% 3PT
This guy was boo'd by fans during the early part of January. After gaining some confidence in mid-January, he's playing like a really solid backup PG. The front office has definitely brought in some quality talent from Leuer, Lee, Johnson, Koufos and now Calathes, but injuries just keep hurting the team. Every time they go on a run, a key player gets hurt.

He actually does have a strong post game. You can see here that he has a variety of face up + back to the basket moves, can turn over either shoulder, etc
But those highlights are from last year. Dude has basically turned into a jumpshooter this year and I don't know why.
Someone earlier brought up Dirk, well the difference is that Dirk shoots threes, which is why he's able to keep his efficiency up. If Aldridge is gonna play on the perimeter all game, at least take a couple steps back and go for 3 points instead of 2. Heck even Ibaka is adding the 3-ball to his game

Moves wise most definitely, he's a throwback to the 90's
Dude came fresh out of HS too, that development.

Yeah, he's been much better than I expected he would be. Seems solid. But he needs to shave his head. The way his hair looks just isn't right.

I don't know why he cut it, but decided to still leave some hair on his head. Its like he's scared to go completely bald.
