Message: [QUOTE="ConnEd, post: 3823783, member: 895"] First, let me say that I love what Martin has brought to the team so far. He reminds me so much of Donny Marshall but with a little better handle and outside game at the same stage. That said, one thing I've noticed on his drives is that as he initiates contact, he swings the ball side to side in front of face to make space to get his shot up. Kinda what Ray did on his famous game-winner versus G'town in the BE Final. The problem with that is that it makes it much harder to put the ball up with any touch and also to have good control of the direction the ball is going up. It's a rapid motion, and he goes directly into the shot after without a pause to re-center the ball and reset his arms. I feel like that leads to his release at the rim often being a bit frenetic rather than controlled. [/QUOTE]
