Things I love about Isaiah's game:
My non-Whaley take from that video:
- His ability to know when to stuff it and when to finesse it over the rim or use English to put it in off the board.
- His hands. Quick and sure.
- The frequency with which he gets control/possession of his blocked shots.
- The quickness he follows up his own misses with, and the fact that he doesn't give up on them.
- His command of the 12 to 18 foot jumper.
- His seemingly instinctive knowledge of where to be on the court, and the fact that he's always ready when he's in position.
- Damn, I miss Gilbert already. Every "wow" assist in that vid was AG.
Really? You're going to summarily dismiss the great assist by Sid in the Miami game?Things I love about Isaiah's game:

Love Isaiah, not sure how much I agree on the 12-18 foot jumpers. Love that he worked on that part of his game and had some nice shots but also had some baaaaaaad shots from that range.
Or because you can score that way.Agreed. Unless he can hit that at a 50% clip it's not a good look. I would think that Hurley let him shoot it because it could be a step towards adding a 3-ball for his last season.

So if someone doesn't shoot 50% it is not a good look? Not talking 3 pointers here. If a player shoots 45% from 17 ft he should always take it. How many players shot 50% on two point shots this year?Agreed. Unless he can hit that at a 50% clip it's not a good look.

So you tell a 30% 3 point shooter to never take them?45% from 17 ft is the same as 30% from 3. Should a 30% 3 point shooter always take the shot, or work for something better?
30% on 3s / 45% on 2s is 0.9 points per possession which is very poor. Good teams are over 1.1 points per possession. You'd have to be a tremendous offensive rebounding team to make a 45% 2 point shot a good shot.

If Isaiah Whaley walks onto the court next year nailing 3's I will start cryingAgreed. Unless he can hit that at a 50% clip it's not a good look. I would think that Hurley let him shoot it because it could be a step towards adding a 3-ball for his last season.
Yes, Whaley and Carlton both definitely have a shotWhaley definitely can play in the NBA the way he runs the floor play defense rebound hustle plays and if he starts hitting the midrange consistently watch out for this kid at the next level
