He is basically an OPP standing in the middle. He hits half balls rather than quick middle balls.
Yesterday, Christenson gave him a rather quick ball, but he couldn't hit it at the right window and only tipped it.
Yeah that is why I think maybe he can do a Nimir and shift position to Opp as maybe it would capitalize his strength more.

He's not a good server though, I doubt he has footwork to be an elite opposite. Also, the US needs badly any depth on the MB position, this is by far the weakest position they have.
After 2 weeks: super exciting VNL so far, several upsets and soooo maaany close games, this is super entertaining to follow. France is -4 points from the top7 spot and they have super hard last week schedule, and even Poland or Italy are only +2 from the 8th spot. Several star players playing seriously from the start. Can't ask for that much more tbh.

I couldn’t agree more. I just wish I had more time to watch more matches and schedule of the matches does not help either.
It could be just me but one thing I have noticed in the last couple summers is male side has a lot of exciting matches during the pool phase yet not that exciting finals. This could be because of more experienced players showing up fully in form for the finals. Women side, on the other hand, is the opposite. Lots of boring matches during the pool phase and some team can pull a surprise in the finals except Italy winning at the end lol
McHenry's reach is insane. Wonder if he can be more successful in the Opp position.
Even I hope Vitay Heynen could give Hu Hanlin more time.
He didn't do it.
Hu Hanlin could jump 3.72 metres high but ... no way ...
Chinese men's NT is a weak team for decades.
We only have ... money ...
OMG. It's not a competition of how high the MBs can jump. Of course, it's good if they can jump high so that they have good blocking height. But for MBs' attacking, tempo is more important. The MBs are part of a system. They need to be able to form combinations with other attacking positions to draw the opponent's blockers' attention.
McHenry's attacking style is basically a tempo killer. For instance, his attack and the pipe cannot form a useful combination when the ball is in system.
The good part is he jumps high, and it's almost impossible to block him. But when the second ball is not traveling high above, everybody knows the ball is not set to McHenry.
According to the FIVB, his wife Mariángel Pérez played for the Venezuelan women's national team but had already retired.

He shouldn't be called to the NT again tbh. His time is over thanks for the memes
That shove by Young on the libero in set 1 was strange, as it was quite aggressive. Probably heat of the moment but I rarely see such behaviour in the court (except for setters moving their mids).
Young did it again in set 2… something douchebaggy about him
I love this Italy vs Japan game. Japan almost won Set 1 but Italy challenged and won 26-24. Italy's MBs are so good
Volleyball World is also experiencing major issues with providing the score for today's match between Germany and Slovenia. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Ran is having a great tournament and is in top form compared to last year! Both teams are playing with superb quality!
VBTV should really offer an audio track that covers two matches at the same time
Bit sad I have to mute one of the two matches I’m streaming 
Canada men are like the Serbian women from last year in terms of losing in every way possible in matches they basically won lol
Amazing point from Italy!
Amazing game Ita-Jpn. The difference between the JPN women and men currently is the big contribution from middles in the Japanese mens team, that along with perfect setting and distribution is what has taken them to another level.
