BADGE: POGO STICK 🦘

Pogo Stick represents the ability to recover quickly and jump again after landing. That can matter after a rebound, a block attempt or another jump where the play is not finished after the first effort.

Shorts is a candidate to evaluate for repeated-jump ability and how quickly he can react when the ball stays alive around the basket. The key is whether he can recover his balance and make another play before the opponent does.

Boogs Take:

Sometimes the first jump doesn’t end the play. Being able to land, recover and get back into the action can create another opportunity to rebound, contest or finish. That second effort can be just as important as the first.
