Impressive tech. I’m still wondering how someone like Tre Jones - with all the coaching and weight lifting that’s available to them - regularly just grazes the rim on wide open threes. I know the NBA is very different from any basketball I’ve played over the years but at this point in a player’s career it has to be a mental thing, right?
Could be, but could also just be a matter him never having been a volume shooter from outside. Takes a lot of reps to build that consistency. So in a sense it’s mental, in that it’s still a work in progress, and shooting about three times more often than he did last season still requires more thought than if he’d been doing it for years. Eventually it’ll feel more natural, and form/motion/mechanics will vary less. At least that’s the goal.
