And then he just isn't at a point yet where he can like really work Towns or Robinson deeper into the paint before he catches the ball.
not directly with him, but talking to people around him, there's a pretty clear understanding.
His game, probably scoring-wise, needs to look a little bit like Joel Embiid right now, where Embiid has that face-up from 15 feet that he can just do a one-step dribble pull-up into very cleanly.
And obviously, Embiid can own post position better than anybody out there, and you're not expecting that out of Victor.
But
the big thing that a great post-up center does is they catch and they're either feeling for position so they know how they want to leverage a defender or they're just going straight into a move right off the catch and victor i think a thing he struggled with in the post is that because defenses are very good and they know how they want to guard his post-ups the passes into him require him to leave his feet a lot of the time and defenses especially like robinson
They're really good at shoving him when he lands in a way that doesn't foul him, but makes him fall over and he has to regain his balance.
And this is just natural to Victor.
His center of gravity is just so insanely high that while we spend so much time talking about how remarkable his balance is for someone who's 7'5", 7'6",
it's still not great compared to like carl anthony towns who has incredible balance on the post up and it allows him to be so fluid out of the post and so they're going to have to find some sort of thing technique wise for him and overall offense wise to get him the ball in ways that he can catch with more power in his base that allows him to get into the post-up actions quicker and more efficiently because right now a lot of the time when he catches the ball
Most of the effort is about getting him reoriented and then he still finds his way.
But then going to the different things like that Porzingis shot, you know, the Embiid shot, getting to a hook shot, he can just go straight to.
Or for him, he likes to do things two-handed mostly.
So having just like a way to turn into a very high jump shot, like a Bill Walton kind of thing.
Those are all things that you just didn't see him comfortably going to those right away.
when he got the ball.
And so they're just going to, he's going to need to drill those out this summer.
And so my understanding is they're going to try to work with some more NBA players, of course, like former players, but also just work with his own team about how can we drill in these mid post and these high post shots so that they're automatic for him.
No, he just kind of tried to suplex him, but when he was too big, it just wasn't possible.
The pick and roll is going back to the pick and roll.
