Chapter 15 Great skill is not evident

Daugherty was one of the few centers in the League with a remarkable gift for playmaking.

He was tall, with average jumping and sprinting abilities, but he had a broad vision and was good at passing, both in technique and awareness.

In his rookie season, he averaged 3.8 assists per game, which rose to 4.2 this season, proving he was a very talented and instinctive big man.

Otherwise, the car-racing enthusiast would not have caught the eye of North Carolina and later become the top draft pick.

During the Big-man Training Camp, Gan Guoyang often sought advice from Daugherty on passing and orchestrating plays.

Daugherty shared a lot of experience with Guoyang on how to read the defense, observe teammates, and become the pivot on the court.

In return, Guoyang taught Daugherty some tricks of the hook shot and how to increase strength.

However, looking at Daugherty's physique, this guy probably spent the summer racing cars instead of working hard in the gym.
