Passing is extremely impressive and encouraging for the offense down the road
The interior passing and soft touch at the rim! ❤️🍀🏀
He as solid. His perimeter defense is nonexistent tho
I was actually most impressed with how he seals on the post. He bodied switches under the rim or sealed the switch as the balled moved to White to have that open pass towards the hoop. He’s stronger than I expected.
We haven’t had this skill set. Our centers played more pick and pop or rim runners. Vooch may feast more than I thought. The chefs kiss is his passing skills from the block too. If someone doubles, I trust he’ll make the right read.
Now PP and JB need to watch some film to see how they can make the read quicker. I think JT with his vision and length would really work with Vooch well.
His post ups are different when we had Porzingis. He almost always gets position deep in the paint. This skill is huge for our spacing.
Looks as advertised. Great rebounder and passer with good overall scoring and offensive skills. Slow as hell on defense. Perfect backup big/spot starter for us.
I was at this game. The garden was going crazy for him
High IQ offensive player, makes everyone around him better on the offensive end. Great passer and good touch
