When I hear Bad Motherfucker, I think of the song Bad Motor Scooter by Montrose: Since they can't say Bad Motherfucker over the air, they should play that guitar rif over the PA whenever Zach enters the game. Could be our own little inside joke. BNM
His offensive game has just taken off like a rocket - since preseason! I don't understand it, because I was getting a little discouraged watching him in SL and preseason. Maybe it's the unstructured swarmball nature of those games and he needs the space he gets from being surrounded by shooters, but he's patient and efficient - it's a joy to watch. And of course his defense has always been great. HE'S THE NEW TIM DUNCAN!!!!!
Tim Duncan is not a bad comparison actually. High BBIQ, elite defense. He doesn't have the offense or rebounding of Duncan yet though.
I love seeing the way he's moving without the ball. He seems to be developing a knack for being in the right place at the right time, which has led to a lot of easy scoring opportunities, which, in turn, has resulted in his (current) ridiculously high shooting percentages. His current percentages aren't sustainable, but the skill of being in the right place at the right time is. It's about reading the defense and knowing your teammates. As a good defender, Zach knows what weaknesses to look for in opposing defenses. Playing with good shooters, really opens up lanes for him which he recognizes and takes advantage of. Familiarity with his teammates means knowing where to be and when to be there and trusting that they will find him when he's open. The chemistry with Stauskas is already great and will continue to develop. BNM
Zach was well coach in high school and in college. He was taught how to play defense the correct way and I bet that was taught when was in high school and from that he built on what they taught him in college. Now offense he is smart enough to go open space and go to the rim off the weak side on the baseline. He was taught early as about his foot work especially when he start right and then cross over to the left for left hand shot. He learn that in high school due I seen him do the same move in college.
TRB% 12.6, which is a bit higher than Zach's of around 11.5 (mostly because of offensive rebounding). Assist% 12.6 much higher than Zach's 7.2. Garnett didn't become an elite rebounder until year 5, so there's still time there, but he was a better passer from day 1 out of high school than Zach has shown to be, and I don't see that changing. That was one thing that absolutely set KG apart from every other big out there (except perhaps Webber)
I'm curious how much of the offense ran through KG at that point though. Dame is our star. The ball goes through him. CJ is next in line. I remember the Wolves had Marbury, although not until his second season.
Damn Tortured has jokes! If you mean Bowie as a compliment I could live with that, I don't think people realize how good his career numbers were. The only weakness in his game was the low FG%. It's savage on your part if you meant Bowie as an insult because you think Collins will get hurt and be considered a bust (because I think a majority of people think that way about Bowie).
