What NBA player is pretty effective, but has a really clunky game? (alien.top)

Saw another post about the smoothest players in the game. I'm thinking of the opposite of smooth. Players who move or shoot in a way that makes you go, "how did that guy do THAT?".

Jokic to me is very smooth. Very little wasted movement. Super clean footwork in the post. Feathery soft touch from 4-10 ft. Just a bit of mouth breathing

Are you sure about little wasted movement? I swear he flails and the limbs go in the wrong directions either on purpose or by habit at this point. You could say that's intentional wasted movement

Idk man he gets to his spots effortlessly and quickly. He gets into his shot quickly. He makes the decision to shoot or pass quickly. All of his moves seem deliberately and tightly executed
