That Eberhardt link is great. I think I posted that here when it came out. Love his ATO stuff too. Lowe had a big article a while back on the Bulls and their defense talking about how good Hinrich is at forcing the ball handler away from the screen. LINK Tomato tomahto on nomenclature.

And I agree on Noah. He's just so versatile and smart. A great defender. Check out the most recent Lowe Post. Elhassan is the guest and it's great stuff.

I've been thinking a Bosh/Ibaka fusion would be Davis's defensive ceiling. But I'll take Noah/KG

Interesting that Babbitt got 10 3s off. He clearly has the green light for now. Wonder if his release has gotten quicker.

The highlight video that's in a few threads showed him catching and shooting reasonably fast on 2 of his 3s. I didn't even think about it being an improvement, but it was.
LINK (Babbitt's 2 3s start about 1:50)

My favorite sequence from the highlights is about 38 seconds in when DWade foolishly attacks the basket with both AD and Asik there and Asik blocks his layup easily.

Was his release really that slow or was it his pump fakes? Was he blocked often? I really don't remember. More than anything, I think hesitation was his biggest problem. "Slow" comes to mind when I think of his first step off of the pump fake. A pump fake is useless if it sets up nothing.
