Why doesn't Noah develop more of an offensive game?

Post by zombiesonics »

He's been in the league, what, 7 years now? Why not develop a solid mid-range J and a jump hook on the block? Then he'd average 18-20 PPG to go along with his great rebounding and passing skills.

Noah is an underachiever.

He's coasting.

Why isn't every 7 year vet a well rounded ball player? Good question

He has, but it's been slow. The mid-range game would be better, seeing as Boozer commands all the attention on the blocks. If they amnesty Boozer we'll really see what Noah's really made for next season.

Usually, players with ADHD end up being terrible offensive players for the rest of their lives.

Don't Bulls fans want to proclaim him as one of the league's premiere big men? He should be averaging at least 18/11/5.

Too bad he lacks the work ethic to get there (sort of like another Bulls player currently residing on the bench).

Okay so unless you average 18-20 a game. You lack work ethic.

Great analysis

Ben Wallace, Dennis Rodman, Mutombo etc lazy underachievers with no work ethic
