Hakeem to train Joel Embiid when he's healthy

[Malta]

Which of Dream's students has shown what he had taught them AND improved his game in the post, besides Kobe?

Lets run down his students

Amare
JaVale McGee
Emeka Okafor
Dwight Howard
Kobe
Josh Smith
LeBron

Most of these dudes were 25+ when they worked with him, he's never gotten a big as gifted as Embiid to work with at a young age. Hakeem is a master class, so I don't know why dudes like Josh Smith or Emeka signed up, it would be like Pavarotti trying to teach Trey Songz opera.

Bron

Bron still bulldozes dudes, no elite footwork in post at all.

LeBron's game really hasn't drastically changed since working with Hakeem. The idea that he posts up AT ALL is what's benefitted him the most, but working with Hakeem hasn't made him that much more devastating because he doesn't utilize any advanced moves out of the post really. Besides Kobe, NOBODY has been able to take full advantage of Hakeem's teachings and used it to better their career. Nobody. It's quite sad.

Shaq took Boogie under his wing and he's now one of the most dominant big men in the league now on offense, I feel like these guys need to learn more basic moves before they can move on to what Hakeem's trying to get them to understand.

Yep, and none of them improved. Embiid is his last chance to make his mark as an effective teacher of the post. I'd rather have Kareem teach Embiid

Bron trained with him for 3 days.

Are people expecting him to not only teach the foundation of playing in the post, but elite footwork as well in less than a week

That's why people should be excited about Embiid going down there.

He's still young as fukk and already has good footwork.

Kobe has great footwork so he was able to benefit.

No...I expect Lebron to show what he learned, if not then what was the point of learning? Attention?

If you watch any Rocket games this past year you can see a diff in Dac00n's game...footwork is no where near Dreams level though

Didn't drummond work with him for a couple weeks and Sheed for the season? Drum showed improvement this past year.

Feelings? I'm a Bron fan

You just can't stick to the issue and admit that he didn't show what he was taught.
