I noticed several games ago in the ACC Tournament that he appeared to be dragging the left leg somewhat in running.
This is soon to be my business. Well, not my business, but I will be a certified Feldenkrais practitioner which, among many other skills, requires a finely honed ability to observe and discern differences from the norm, differences between two sides, differences that bespeak something's being out of whack. Jon is out of whack. Does that mean he is "injured." Not if you went to a physician; absolutely not!
Jon can "make" the left side of his pelvis move as it normally does (I cannot say what his normal way of moving it is because I never looked that carefully) but I can tell you that what I'm seeing is out of the norm for Jon.
So, he has to concentrate more on that pelvis, hip, leg in doing everything much more than usual and the results will be much spottier, less predictable. What generates power in the body, boys and girls, what is the power center. That's right, the pelvic area.
That's the list.
If anyone knows K or anyone else associated with that team, they really should contact a high-end feldenkrais practitioner and get him to whereever the sweet 16 is, and then the final 4. What we call a functional integration lesson will do tons to improve Jon and leave him with much more freedom, improve his functioning smoothly perhaps beyond what it was before the episode that caused the problem to flare (I'm guessing the put down in GT II).
I know just the guy, but he doesn't work cheap. Far from it. Think lawyer prices just about. No, not NYC lawyer prices, but not Podunk either. What's the best shot at a championship worth. Tell them to get in touch. I'm happy to hook em up, if not with my guy, who is the absolute best, then someone up there.
Jon's shot is off because the left side of his pelvis is not functioning normally for him. That's the list.
Precisely what's causing it? Not a simple answer and probably not just one thing. That's why they pay my guy the big bucks--because he is a genuis at figuring these things out and developing a strategy for helping a person disintangle. Yeap, I'm reasonably certain.
