Title: JO's Butter Fingers
Post by: kstate4life on January 23, 2013, 11:05:39 AM
Why can't he hold on to the rough ridin' ball!  He has to have giant hands, right?  I thought he should have had more TOs, but then I realized most of the time he didn't have possession to turn the ball over in the first place.

His confidence is obviously being crushed by oscar.

Worst hands on the team, JO or Diaz?

I don't know why you guys think it is so unusual for bigs to have bad hands. You guys must watch a lot of NBA basketball and not much college.

JO plays more minutes, so he wins by default.

That loose ball at mid-court in the 2nd half when JO got to the ball first and dribbled the ball off of his face...when all he had to do was grab it.

I watch a lot of college basketball, and it seems like our bigs definitely have worse hands than most.  Withey didn't have a problem catching the ball last night.  :bang:

will sucking at basketball isn't unusual either, i guess people should just accept it and not get angry.

I would like to point out JO's dribble drive ability to those hating on his hands right now.  JO's handles are far better than most bigs.  Sure he loses catches now and then, but all bigs do.  All bigs can't dribble drive like JO though.

No, Jo's hands are not fine in the grand context of basketball, but in light of the laundry list of big guys that clams posted, they are above average.  Which is scary in and of itself.

Pro Tip:  Jo travels (changes pivot foot) almost everytime he touches the ball and attempts to make a move of any kind outside of taking it straight up for a shot.  Very common with bigger guys and pretty subtle most of the time.

Well if your subject is to be believed then maybe he can't hold on because of the butter.  anyone ever think of telling him to use a knife instead of his fingers to spread butter on his role  :dunno:

Michael Beasley had the best hands of any basketball player I have ever seen live.  It was amazing, anything that touched any part of his hand was grabbed cleanly, every single time.

Yep.  could also shoot off of any part from the wrist up accurately.  His touch in receiving or shooting is outstanding.

Actually very small hands for his size.  Helluva little league 3B and Tuba player, however.

if i threw a tennis ball at you, would you find it easier or harder to catch with your miniature hands than if i threw a bball at you?
