JV's post offense is definitely improving, according to my eyes. He used to pump fake and then do a running hook across the lane 90% of the time. He spins in either direction and finishes with either hand a lot more often now, and is getting quicker and more decisive with his decisions. Still a ways to go, of course.
Mostly the defensive scheme is a really bad fit for him, but as has been mentioned 10000000000000000 times here, why does he get the hate for looking like shit when he doesn't have the mobility to cover all the perimeter blow by's given up by the guards? I put a lot of that blame on the coach for continuing to demand a scheme that exposes the defensive weaknesses of both the guards and the bigs. The Raps desperately need Amir to make the defense even come close to working, and we all know how crazy it is to depend on Amir at this point, as much as we love him. The guy's at 70% health for 90% of the season.
