Herard is probably a great person with tremendous character off the court but we need him to beat the shit outta guys on the court and he doesn't understand that. Get your big ass on the block and refuse to move. Push others off that spot and rip the ****ing rim down on every rebound. It's really that simple. Stand a foot from the basket and kill everything that comes close to you. Until he learns that he's just going to be a horrible basketball player. It's like Shaq trying to be a pretty little flower while playing basketball. Doesn't work.
I've said it before but he also seems very anxious a lot of the time, especially when he's near the ball. Might not be as clumsy if he can figure out how to get that under control.
