at Hollinger Scouting report on JOEL ANTHONY
Scouting report
+ Undersized, energetic center with excellent mobility and shot-blocking skill.
+ Brutal offensive player. Can't shoot, has terrible hands and no instincts.
+ Poor rebounder despite athleticism, especially on defense. Solid foul shooter.
Analysis
The Canadian southpaw made enough dunks and layups to be something less than a total liability offensively last season. His league-worst usage rate from 2011-12 jumped up to merely the third-worst, and his true shooting percentage ranked eighth-best among centers -- although it still produced only 6.5 points per 40 minutes. Hey, baby steps.
Anthony's secret weakness is that he's also a terrible rebounder, posting the fourth-worst rebound rate among centers. He has trouble catching the ball and will take himself out of position going for blocks; in fact he's even worse on the defensive glass than offensively.
However, defense is where his value lies. Anthony isn't terribly physical, but he's a mobile pick-and-roll defender who can block shots, so overall he's a plus at this end. Unfortunately, it doesn't offset his problems on offense, and basically renders him a situational player who has seen far too much daylight over the past two seasons.
He still got a ring though.
Imagine if he worked with Hakeem![]()
Joel got a semi automatic Jump hook
if only he could catch the ball![]()
