Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 2131284, member: 534"] At least in that particular highlight video, MAL seemed to favor going to the hole over passing or shooting the J. Much like JA, he is completely right handed, and depending on how you squint, this makes his drives on the left side of the hoop either spectacular or flat out awkward, because the degree of difficulty goes up when you shoot right handed layups from the left side. (This comes from a 100% left handed shooter whose "signature move" was a heavy english, banked layin from the right side. Fodder for shot blockers as the level of competition got higher.) Polley. Mostly transition and inside highlights, but I really like where he releases his jumper from. High over his head, not in front if his chin like some of our recent shooters and a lot of the recruits whose videos I've watched seem to do. Carlton appears to be a pretty effective defensive rebounder. But he seems to look for a close outlet as soon as he comes down, while still in a crowd. Needs to learn the wide pivot to clear space and get a quick look down court for the longer outlet (think Wes Unseld and Dave Cowens.) Offensively, I would have called him for offensive fouls on a couple of the moves on his highlight video. [/QUOTE]
