At least try.

How do you know they haven’t? I’d wager they probably have – they have brought in a 2nd big man coach (Scott Roth – who worked with Dirk, Pau & Thabeet) (to aide Russ Turner – Duncan, Songaila, Stanford bigs Madsen, Collins brothers).

POB & Bynum have worked on the sky hook for years – doesn’t mean they have the ability to eventually get good at it. Randolph may not ever have an effective post game. If you recall, JRich was supposedly gonna be a post up beast learning from Mitch Richmond… didn’t really turn out that way.

the one time i saw AR try a baby hook shot this season it looked worse than POB’s sky hook.

again. Bynum already had a drop step, a great spin move both ways & a hook shot before he got to the NBA. He needed refining with his footwork, elbows, angles, positioning, keeping the ball high and whatnot, but the tools for a post game were there.

Andris has spent years tweaking his form & shooting jumpers – doesn’t mean he’ll ever be a good jump shooter. JRich works tirelessly on his handles – doesn’t mean they’ll improve. Randolph could be working constantly on his baby hook shot – doesn’t mean he has the ability to make it with any consistency. let alone vs NBA defenders.

Maggette spent years improving his range (which he has improved greatly). but just b/c Maggette has 3 pt range doesn’t mean he should be shooting them. AR is probably working on his post game with coach Turner &/or Roth and it might have improved – but it’s obviously not something that’s effective in practice or that he has any confidence in or we’d have seen him use it in a game.
