I always felt that Antoni ruined his natural game. Walker has always been a slasher that could finish around the rim with some power dunks mixed in. Unfortunately, Antoni's system has guys standing out on the perimeter shooting long range. Remember when he first got here and Wilson Chandler started slowly becoming a 3pt shooter when his strength was attacking the basket? OR more recently with Jorts?
Once Antoni saw that Walker could make 3s it ultimately changed his game. That's a shame.
agreed antoni ruined a few guys.
And he did not make Steve Nash a great player, Nash is a great player that was waiting to blossom under any coach. Nash is leading the Suns to a playoff spot with no one on his roster, its amazing. Nash made Mike Dantoni, i cant believe people gave Mike D credit for Steve Nash breaking out...ridiculous
Mike D could have used WIlson CHandler, Gallo, Melo, AMare at their max abaility by having them slash but they would jock up shots...when their strength is slashing....you attack the rim and that makes you gain confidence...then you can start drilling shots because teams not only play back on you but u gain confidence naturally..Mike D never realised this
