Last season, he was no the same player as the # 1st year as a Knick, especially in the play offs
He loss a lot of weight/strength from the strep throat and Hibbert improved much in strength and endurance/stamina/ and post moves
But lets not forget in his 1st season, he shut down players like D12 and Hibbert by himself
Let's give Tyson Chandler some credit, in giving the attempt/work, hopefully he regains his combination of mobility/athleticism/length/ and size
He loss a lot of weight/strength from the strep throat and Hibbert improved much as well
Working with less weight/more reps, kick boxing, would improve his strength/conditioning/endurance/stamina, and NOT heavier weights because he needs mobility
Adding in flexibility/ balance/ foot work, hands for catching passes, hand/eye coordination, and taking contact to finish in the paint
He would have to also add a 12 foot shot when left open, hand/eye coordination and hands to work on catching passes and finishing with contact, and when the shot blocker comes up to defend him, it opens the lane up for cutters/spacing
It would be great if he could also work on a 2 step dribble to take it straight to the rim like Noah does in addition to 2 post moves to keep the opponents DEFENSE honest
A consistent hook shot, with a counter go with it *basically what Amare added in 2 weeks of training with Hakeem*
IF he does all of the above, it would allow him to NOT be a liability on the court and open up his game, causing a chain reaction for the rest of team
Through out his career, he was one of the more mobile 7 footers, with good athleticism, speed/quickness, to go with length/strength for 1v1 DEF and TEAM DEF
Mobility/athleticism/length to go with his size is what made Tyson Chandler one of the top defensive C's in his career, last season he was far from it
I am hopeful that he regains it despite this age/abuse in the league for a C *since coming out of HIGH SCHOOL playing 12 season already in the NBA*
He played great during the run with Lin, Lin' utilized Chandler with the PnR and made him a threat and one of the top options causing Chandler to play harder/more confident on both ends of the floor
We have not added a PF/C to team up with Chandler, the last one was Jeffries and they did very well together when he was teamed up with Jared Jeffries, because of JJ's mobility/IQ/effort and fit in with Tyson Chandler with the effort by the rest of the players on the team, playing as a TEAM on both ends of the floor
Lin
Iman Shumpert
Fields
JJ
Chandler
We were on of the TOP DEFENSIVE team's during that run while we played a 1 unit and unselfishly, with ball movement, picks on and off the ball, and helping each other out with TEAM DEFENSE
Since Jeffries is a UFA, I think it would make sense to add him to our roster with the defensive limitations of Bargnani/STAT
Also playing Kmart together to build chemistry instead of just throwing him in with Chandler in the play offs was needed
Obviously we cannot play the same ISO/SPREAD offense with these lineups/big's, something Woodson must realize and learn to change the philosophies on OFF and DEF with the rotations/strengths/weakness in his lineups
Woodson was not very creative and always believed in playing with one philosophy on both OFF and DEF, and it simply does not work to the strength of the team
He was just thinking of how it would allow Melo/JR would flourish in the spread and ISO OFFENSE
On DEF, we cannot constantly help each other, some players have the ability to help depending on the match up, and some can only help to a certain extent, but each player must #1 prioritize defending their man first and helping 2nd
