He has good timing, but not a good leap. You look at Caddy when he jumps as a comparison of someone approx his size. Caddy doesn’t have the timeing that Kaine has, but is far more athletic in every way.

I wached plenty, his foot skills look good, the issue is he turns it over constantly. Unforgiveable for a defender.

Well apart from saturdays match, I must have been watching someone else

Thanks for coming around

He’s actually a very good kick. That’s the least of his deficiencies….

He used to be very good but I get the feeling the navicular injury has changed that for him

No he is not,

u gotta look at where it lands, anything before doesn’t matter.

Well, it shouldn’t be.

This is just a ludicrous concept; though, to be fair, it is a common fallacy that anybody marks the ball at its highest point.
The highest point of a kick is approximately half way along its trajectory. To mark a ball at the highest point of a kick, it must still be going up (or be about to stop going up and be at the point it begins to descend).
So, Baldwin (and others) may know how to mark the ball at its highest point, but it would require jumping out of a helicopter to actually do it. Nobody can mark the ball at its highest point.

Talking about the leap, not the highest point of the kick.
He marks it at the peak of his jump.
Requires great timing going for a mark, which he has.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It’s just not what you said. I appreciate you’re just repeating what everyone (wrongly) says. It’s not marking the ball “at its highest point”, it is marking the ball at the highest point of his leap.

I think what I wrote can be interpreted two ways correctly no?

Well, they can if the ball never gets more than about 10 feet off the ground.

We need to draft a player that can mark the ball at the height of it’s trajectory. How attainable is Wembanyama? Maybe Ben Simmons can get in his ear about the sash

Wishing Balders all the best, I had high hopes for him but his body let him down at crutial points in his short career. He comes across as a great bloke and will still get the best out of himself what ever he ends up doing.
