Justin Burrell's Hands
« on: December 22, 2007, 02:05:01 PM »
I love Justin Burrell and expect him to get better and better each year. To me his most costly problem this season has to do with securing the ball when it's delivered to him (I'm talking about good passes not bad ones). I don't know if we have any stats on this but JB has simply lost the ball too many times. I doubt if there's anything wrong with his hands it probably has more to do with his failure to "look the ball into" his hands. It reminds me of a wide receiver who starts running before he has possession of the ball. KOB - have you noticed this as well? If so, is this simply a matter of a freshman trying too hard to make something happen too quickly - or have you seen it before in Burrell? Sometimes just a coach reminding a player to secure possession before he makes a move can correct the situation.

I mean its like in football when you see a receiver trying to run down field before he catches the ball only to drop it. 1 step at a time and I think we'll see improvement here. The game will slow down for Justin and all the freshman with more experience.

qcredman - I agree.  He has the biggest hand I have ever shook and I can easily palm a basketball.  Just some pointless info from Baron.
