Batum: to build some strength. I don't think there is any mechanics he is really deficient in, just isn't strong enough to drive, take a hit and finish like I would like him to.
Aldridge: Strength, ball handling and more post moves. I think his game is pretty good so far. I would like him to protect the ball more. He tends to fumble when he's too far from the basket. I want him to develop better handles, so he can finish around the rim more.
Matthews: Ball handling and vet hold moves. I think he needs to find those trademark vet hold moves that won't be easy to spot. It helps to give help defense more time to get in position to help defensively. I want him to box out better so our guards can rebound more efficiently. Too many times we are beat by those long rebounds. We need to stop that immediately. His handles improved this season, but they are far from perfect.
Lillard: Knowing how to guide his man to the teeth of help, finishing, teardrop and lob passing. He is quick enough to beat his man, but if he has a floater, he would be so unstoppable. I'm not as concerned with his defense as many in here. I think knowing where the teeth of the help is, then forcing his man to go there is all we need. If he develops that lob, we would be unstoppable. Picture a younger, more athletic miller setting up the defense and lobbing it to lma and Leonard.
Leonard: Rebounding, defense, defense and defense. I know offensively he is still raw, but his current ability is still much better than a young pryzbilla. If his defense is anything close to pryzbilla, we would have that center we desperately need. He must be our last line of defense. Must rebound the ball and box out his man. He needs to be aware of the help and he needs to be the help.
Claver: Finishing, hitting the shot and pressure defense. I think claver is the biggest diamond I the rough. He already seems to have very good b ball iq, and just needs to score more so he isn't a liability on the offensive end.
Barton: Control, perimeter game and trap awareness. He has a lot of athletic ability. I think if he improves his outside shot, control and awareness, he would be an awesome bench player.
Maynor: Learn the system and trap defense. Maynor is quick enough to pressure the ball handler. I think this season, he didn't want to mess things up, so he was a little passive. If he gets a contract, I see huge improvements already. I think he will gamble more on the defensive end, but more importantly work on a game that works within our system.
Coaching staff: No rookie defensive coach, better defense and half court traps. It's embarrassing that our club was dead last protecting "in the paint" scoring. Some think its just the center, but a team can easily pick and roll on us, which puts our center out of position to help. We need a revamped defense. If we need to hire a defensive minded assistant coach, then do this ASAP. I love Caleb, but he is out of his league. I don't mind I'm still coaching, just not a position that's so important to this ball club.
