The pictures of Badiane swatting Withersā shots is a perfect visual of something I have been saying to whoever is around me during games this year:
Why canāt Withers get off the ground when shooting around the hoop? In both photos he is at the peak of his jump, but releasing the ball at least a foot under the 10ā high basket! No wonder he gets stuffed so often!! And this is the guy we have jumping center taps at the start of games, but he appears to have about a 6 inch vertical āleapā from a standing jump. I expect a lot more than that from a Preston Green trained guy, or am I missing something?
good point about CW. He also misses more than his share of dunks from a stand still under the rim. That makes that dunk against 'Bama that much more amazing.
