Re: The Wilt Chamberlain Offensive Scouting Report Project Thread:
Actually, splitting into primary moves and counters might not be a great idea, since it'll remove the fluidity of the video and make it a difficult watch. Your call, you're the editing master here.

Re: The Wilt Chamberlain Offensive Scouting Report Project Thread:
[QUOTE=fpliii]Just watched the 720p version, good stuff. The clips look great, and the audio is excellent (no clue how you find these gems :cheers: ).
So I'm thinking my recommendation for the main video would be:
1) intro
2) left block:
-primary move
-counter(s)
3) right block:
-primary move
-counter(s)
4) offensive rebounding
I think this would cover the bulk of his half-court scoring, which I think was the inspiration for the video. Though that still leaves:
Deep catches
Lobs
Transition
2-man
Maybe you should group offensive rebounding in with those categories? What do you want to do with passing (is that part of two man, or are those scores by Wilt)?
[B]Also, did you decide if you're going to include a segment on high post play, and include some of his top of the key shooting from college[/B]? You could also include passing and screen-setting from the FT line (though I believe you and several others have said the time he spent in the high post is largely overstated).[/QUOTE]
I absolutely concur. As I have stated before, there are those that claimed that Wilt came into the NBA with a good outside shot (at least to 15 ft.) And I honestly believe that an early-NBA Wilt was routinely taking 10-15 ft shots, which is one of the reasons his FG% was considerably lower in those years, than from the mid-60's on.
Re: The Wilt Chamberlain Offensive Scouting Report Project Thread:
As a sidenote, I think Chamberlain's best footage comes in his "masked" season. He is just overwhelming in that footage.
Re: The Wilt Chamberlain Offensive Scouting Report Project Thread:
Purely from scoring I've got:
Physical Profile/Attributes
Left Block
Lobs/Deep catches/Transition
Offensive Rebounding
In a relatively completed state, and the video is already 23 minutes long. Looks like I will be breaking up passing and scoring, because I haven't even put the Right Block and Backdoor/P&R/Give and Go sections together yet, which I'm guessing will be at least another 10-12 minutes.

I wouldn't have a problem with a long video, but I suspect that many other's might. Perhaps you should break them up into parts?

I am going to break it up, into scoring - and passing - and maybe a defensive video in the future. I'm going to at least keep the scoring all together though.

Excellent.
Re: The Wilt Chamberlain Offensive Scouting Report Project Thread:
I mentioned it a while back, but what do you think of Chamberlain's "masked" footage? He is just flat-out overwhelming in the footage that exists.

Well it should, it's a glimpse of him in his prime, and the masked footage against Thurmond I believe actually was a few clips from one of his 40+ point games... some of the only clips we've got when he was in a genuine 'attack' mode. I've also got footage of him as a rookie that looks overwhelming so I think it's just a product of him being quicker and more agile than he was as a Laker and being less... disinterested towards scoring shall we say, which is how he is in most of the footage that exists. I stumbled on some new clips today that I forgot I had that show him duplicating some right block moves he put on Jabbar but from 10 years prior doing it to Bill Russell and his agility, lift and balance executing the identical move looks much greater in the footage of him at a younger age.
Re: The Wilt Chamberlain Offensive Scouting Report Project Thread:
I am so excited to see this, no pun intended of course. Godspeed.

Not that an earlier NBA Chamberlain wasn't dominant, but a mid-60's Wilt just slaughtered Reed, Bellamy, Thurmond, and Russell in his H2H's.

That one ASG (I think it's 62?) and the footage PHILA found from that game where Wilt breaks the scoring record I believe are both pretty good too IMO.

Yeah, Wilt was very impressive in that ASG (42 points on 17-23 shooting.) It's just too bad that there is so little footage of an early-NBA Chamberlain.
