Feb 5, 2022; Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA; North Carolina Tar Heels forward Armando Bacot (5) with the ball as Duke Blue Devils forward Theo John (12) defends in the second half at Dean E. Smith Center.Some players have a knack. Whether because they plot their moves in advance, study alternatives, or just follow their instincts, they seem to know where to go when a shot comes off rim or backboard.
This is not the same as bulling to the basket, muscling inside to grab a rebound. Not to say that force isn’t part of the equation, but it’s force intelligently applied, a lever positioned to move a rock. After all, there are often defenders in the way and officials watching for missteps.
