He hasnt been right all year.
His dream shake is nothing close to the great Hakeem Olajuwon, I dont think thats the point, But I do see what you're saying, his only offense was a jumper or rondo creating him a shot this season...hes just has a bad year, the worst of his career and is definetly starting to decline
Exactly. Call it whatever you like, but the point is that move is no longer in his game. In my opinion, that needs to come back for a few reasons:
1. KG is absolutely deadly with that shot, and can get it off on anyone at anytime. One the other hand, KG's long jumper is solid but requires some serious ball movement (aka turnover risk) to get him open for it. There's no turnover risk involved when the game plan is simply "give the ball to KG and let him go to work".
2. It forces teams to double him in the post, which gets other teammates like Perk open for dunks.
3. The closer he is to the basket, the more likely he is to pull down an offensive rebound.
4. Lastly, I'd rather have KG do this move than have Perkins back it in. Perk's offense has improved, but it's definitely not to the point where I'd rather have Perk taking the shot.
