If He Can Get 30, Why Not 40?

I watched a kid drop over 30 on another team the other night. He did it primarily through offensive put-backs. What he did NOT do is show any kind of sense or understanding of how to play offense. He had one post move, from which he scored maybe 6 of his points, and absolutely no understanding of how create a shot for himself with or without the ball.

Yeah, he was a relentless rebounder. But imagine what he could have done if he was a legitimate threat in the low post, high post, or anywhere else on the floor. Imagine if his youth coach had taught him some dribble moves, a jumpshot, or how to move without the ball. He would be a threat to drop 30 every night. But his youth coach just couldn't be bothered with the hard work of demanding that he expand his game.

What a shame. You could be hearing about him playing DI somewhere. Instead, you will probably never hear about him at all. Because his youth coach couldn't be bothered.
