Welcome Tidjane Salaun: The French Connection Part 8

2.7% body fat is wild by the way lol

Thanks everybody! I wanted to move my incessant Salaun convo to this thread. Since I won’t shut the fuck up about it. A couple things stood out from this (as always) astute HP discussion:

-I want Salaun to dial in corner threes.

-The standing reach numbers were really eye opening. Because I don’t see Salaun as a freak athlete. He just had a good motor, but the crazy measurables make it a little different. I’m with the program now.

-I also agree with the concerns with how they were asking him to play last year. It wasn’t helping. Im hoping a healthy roster and real rotation will help solidify what Coach Lee is asking. I do not want him to be a miles bridges clone.

-Lastly I agree with salaun’s success being more of a PF and small ball center than this Bridges/small forward kind of look.

-I’ve watched Salaun’s three point shot mechanics and I can’t pick out much that I hate. He’s not afraid to pull up deep, but I wonder if higher quality three would help.

There’s a Boone article up about Salaun on CO. Lot’s of optimism based on his summer work ethic. I’m excited to see if it translates.

The young man needs to attack the basket and continue moving his feet on defense. He has incredible tools.

Mr. Eastley thanks for the video!
