Here’s Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl on Gradey Dick’s ability to make the right reads during hand-offs (shooting a career-high 38.3% from three through eight games).
(via Toronto Raptors):
“I think he’s always had that skill. Now, he’s just shooting it lights out. So he always knew how to do that, but now that he’s making those shots very consistently, the defense has to react and sometimes you overreact to it. It’s helping everybody else where in some situations against us: the defense gets away with going under and stuff like that when Gradey’s in these actions. It’s causing a lot of problems for a lot of teams. We’ve got to take advantage of that even more.”
