His handles are trash

Also his mentality sucks

Dude has no work ethic man. Handles are one of the easier things to improve upon if you put forth effort and stay with it. Mentality can't be taught but to get this far you would think this guy had that killer mentality. :why:

I been telling that dude he needs to get in the gym with Drew Hanlen, the best trainer in the NBA is from the crib, he's got an inside track.

I'm really afraid he might be out the league soon.

Lucky to have Beal, Tatum, McCaw and more on the way.

He just recently linked up with Clint Parks, dude is official as far as skill/player development.

I never got the hype on this guy. Its like people NEEDED a SG to hype up coming into the draft.

Nah breh. If your handles are shaky by the time you get to the NBA, they're never gonna get that much better. You might be able to tighten it up a little bit and build some better footwork, but a wing or guard with no creativity with the ball or a handle that holds back their athleticism is always going to be gimped.

Outside of Lowry and Kawhi (and Kawhi's a fukking machine anyways), handles just don't see that drastic of an improvement generally.

True we dont usually see a guy go from a trash handle to great handle but this guy basically has nonexistent handle skills. You would think it improved a little over his time in the league :mjcry:

I never heard of Clint Parks but I see he's working with Kuzma Tony Snell and Nance Jr. any other clients? Either way, I hope it works out for Ben. He has the tools.
