...one of the reasons KC got such a long look by the Mavericks was his ability to defend multiple positions.

This won't be a popular take, but...

This will be a very popular take.

Umm. We all hate that fade-away crap I think

I guess you guys are too young to remember Karl Malone. The fade-away is nearly

Yes, I thought of KM. I do think that a kick out is also helpful.

Except KM's drift backward was not nearly as large as Yeoli's right now. Yeoli

The NBA won't want it. LMA is the only NBA player that shoots that way anymore.

I agree, think most will actually

That being said, I pray that he comes back next year!

If Rose as struck a deal

Mostly a fair analysis. Wish he had a better motor

thebruce

On 3s...shooting 33%. Haws is shooting 35%. FWIW

Fifty Shades of Blue

2/18/19 7:42pm

He needs to shoot in the restricted area or open 3’s

gmoney7

2/18/19 7:46pm

He's really only good from the top of the key on 3s

Grit for Brains

2/18/19 7:57pm

My big issue with him is he never follows a shot. None of rhem do.

oldrugger

2/18/19 10:23pm

If Haws got Yoeli's same looks, Haws would be 60%

Yes, with all the problems on the team, criticizing our best and most consistent

Kinda what I was thinking too.

Even our best player has room for improvement - some of it effort-based. No?

BYUfan92

He is terrible defensively. Very poor effort

BYU '80

2/18/19 10:26pm

Money on offense but sometimes a liability on defense

icecougar

2/18/19 11:03pm

He may be money now, but if he quit with the frequent ill-advised shots he would

StantonMac

Only two things for me....rebound more...and stop ill advised 3 pointers.

WJCougar

2/18/19 8:10pm

I agree with everything you said.

FootBackwards

2/18/19 8:18pm

I understand the frustration, but I think he does a fairly decent job of reading

StalwartBraveTrue

2/18/19 9:23pm

A little more kicking it out to open shooters might be good too.

civilcoug

2/18/19 9:34pm

If he has any hope of an NBA career, he has to be able to shoot an NBA 3pt shot

icecougar

This is absolutely the truth - he's out of position on "D" A LOT!

Agreed

You and others complain too much about his fadeaways. They are decent shots most of the time. His FG% is .515

lightmann

2/18/19 11:36pm

Fade away is a great shot to develop

byublue42

2/18/19 11:41pm

I think he air balled 3 of them last game . Just saying

Fadeaway midrange shots are the worst shot in basketball

thebruce

2/19/19 6:21am

Came here to say this. It's a shot you can get 100% of the time and on this team

Good take

I would love Yoeli to face up more from the mid post.

Jimmerfan32

almost all his 3s are wide open and he shoots at a similar % to everyone but haw

5. Needs to pass quicker when the double/triple team comes. Too many TOs there.
