Nah I'm to slow to go straight up I'll get block. I use the hop step to bait the defender into jumping . Usually he jumps early and lands on my back no foul call and I'll lose the ball. Or I blow by him and a "ghost rips" me . When I do go up instead of hop stepping it's so slow that the 7'3 centers who have max defense and athleticism block me . Most times I just past out honestly .
