In the ordinary course of reason, we would have talked about his career record. In the Raptors' very narrow win over the Celtics last night, Grady Dick He wasn't a fan of the idea of challenging the defending champion.
Just look at the context of many of his shot attempts: in transition, on first intent, sometimes behind the arc, sometimes attacking the rim.
” I think Grady is more of an offensive player than a shooter. Last year we talked about our vision for this. It's kind of next level to that. There are others behind him that he needs to work on and develop.”, Analysis by Darko Rajakovic.
The latter adds: I think if you're just a three-point shooter in the modern NBA, that's a great advantage. But this is not enough to maximize your potential and use within the team. So I think it comes from cuts and breakouts. He needs to develop his individual penetration, and then the pick-and-roll will come when he is able to play with it as well. »
More muscle this summer
So the twenty-year-old has a great program ahead of him. Even he has already shown great offensive versatility against Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and others. He finished as top scorer in a game in which the rotations resembled those that would have to be implemented in the regular season.
In addition to his 27 points (12/21 on shooting including 3/8 from long range) and 6 rebounds, the 13th pick of the 2023 draft had two steals. ” In his conversation with coach Darko and Ivo (Simovic, assistant), the focus was on the defensive side. It kind of helps push my offensive game. Every time they tell me how many balls I deflected and things like that, it boosts my energy in attack. When I show that, I show more versatility in my game », back judges.
Last year, he made half of his shots from beyond the arc (36.5% success rate). By working on his fitness this summer, he should open the way into the circuit more easily. ” I still have a long way to go, but at the same time, I've made progress in the weight room, with my weight and muscle strength, to hold up when I try to draw fouls or whenever the A gets higher. »
Earlier this monththe “sophomore” claimed that she gained six kilograms this summer. ” To be honest, it's not a big change, because I still have a lot of room to improve. But at the same time, it's more like core strength and like the exercises and movements that we do in the weight room that really helped me keep going. »
Is it enough to allow him to rise in rank as he hopes?
