I don't think he'll ever stop taking the awful jumpers. Once a player's shot selection is broken so badly its hard to get them to remove it from their game.
Playing with an actual PG certainly couldn't hurt.
And players improving their shot selection has happened before.
Bottom line is Cousins, isn't happening but I think on our team with Doc we are talking an All-Star player and possibly the leagues best C. He has the talent, and the mixture of Rondo, KG, Doc would be great for him. But it won't happen.
Tyreke would be amazing too off the bench with all that flexibility but not sure what's being given up there.
You don't think Garnett could get in his ear and teach him how to be a pro?
Garnett is great, but he's not a miracle worker and so far he's only helped people who wanted to help themselves in the first place.
I think i tend to agree. His reputation as a miracle worker with bench bigs seems a little overblown to me.
It's coaching. He can give advice, players can take it or not, but at the end of the day a player needs the talent to roll with it.
Give me the best gameplan in the world to stop Dwight Howard, I'm not going to be able to do it. Tell Ryan Hollins the perfect way to grab a rebound...
I definitely agree. I think if you look at Big Baby you can see KG's work as a teacher. Even with one year with him Steimsma improved quite a lot I think.
Cousins is in another league of talent and certainly has had issues but being in Boston would be a different world comparatively.
