Yes, if he was able to use his left hand coming from the left side it’s much harder for someone to block the shot coming across the lane.2 times he was on the left side and he was going up with his right hand, IIRC.
He will correct situation no? Tough rebounder already. Go Hawks....Not a criticism of JW, but he seems to like to finger roll everything in. Just seems occasionally he needs to release it earlier and get it on the glass. Then if it's blocked it's, of course, goaltending.
Two handed thunder-chunky!This is an aspect of the game he needs to work on. He needs to be stronger with the ball and dunk it. He'll at least draw the foul. But he is in love with using the backboard.
Needs to get the ball up on the glass faster.Anyone have an idea why he had so many shots blocked last night? At least 3, maybe 4.
Also, I am pretty sure he is getting fouled by the body or on the arm a lot, but no calls.
Thought?
Start going up with two hands and if someone puts an arm in the way break it on the rim as you dunk it in their face.Just think he needs to go stronger. Still a learning curve for a guy who dominated at the high school level. B1G athletes are on a par if not more explosive than JW. I’m confident he gets there with more hard work. Probably was fouled some but don’t think we should complain about foul calls/ non calls from last night.
I thought earlier in the season he WAS dunking it often. Maybe he has some minor injury that takes away from his jumping ability.
That play was both fun and shocking! Never thought I'd see Connor trying doing a Sir Jamalot. Kids all balls though....Watch Joe's post game interview.... he sorta made fun of himself saying maybe he needs to follow Connor and attack the rim to punch it.
He didn't do anything wrong.
The angle he was taking made it quicker to shoot with the closer right hand.
UM players just made some nice defensive plays.
If he takes the extra time to gather and try to dunk it only gives the defender more time to contest.

Don’t know if I’d call him weak. As we all know, JW is very talented. But think the blocks on him in the MI game should clue him in that he’s got work to do building his body before he’s NBA-ready.He is still weak.
Look at his body compared to other players at his position out there. It's a significant difference in muscle mass. A small forward/shooting guard doesn't have to have a jacked physique. But JW is lacking in the upper body strength department.
I don't know what the offseason strength program is for him, but it hasn't done the job yet.
I agree (if I'm understanding you correctly). One of the blocks I saw was when he went up with the shot, it looked like the defender slapped his hand against the glass. No call. Go up strong and dunk if there is little space, and use two hands if it is possible. Lay it in off the glass if there is space. Easy for me to say though.Could maybe go up stronger. All hand on one of those “blocks” also makes it tough.
