“I like how KU used Perry in this game. Stepping him out away from the basket not only helps him because he isn’t worried about getting his shot blocked, but it also opens up the driving lanes for our guards.”
Me, too! And it has opened up the drive for BamBam! Suddenly, he has found his scoring, and his motion post moves (post slasher) will not only continue to be effective, how the heck is an opponent supposed to scout and prep for that?
Perry has the same skill, but teams aren’t respecting BamBam to hit the long ball, so they don’t have to go get him. Self has figured that out by using BamBam more on high screens. Smart!
So working BamBam on high screens should help open scoring opportunities for Perry to become a post slasher because the post defender guarding BamBam has to go out and make the switch on the high ball screen.
Perry should start utilizing more motion in the post and face the goal. He’s not good at back to the basket.
