Alterique Training

[StepbackCity]

Watching this kid play is magical. And oh yeah, if you don’t post your workout, it never happened.

UConn's Robert Swain has a connection to Alterique?

 

[MDHuskFan]

Is it just me or does his jumper look a lot more fluid now? If my memory is Correct, I thought at times last year his jumper seemed to have an awkward catch/pause in it.

 

[LIuconn]

he deserves success. hope this is the year

 

[BFieldHusky]

Have heard that the medical staff feels he is finally healthy. The surgery was very different from the last one, with a higher success rate. The fear is loss of mobility in the shoulder, but I have heard (and Hurley and Rothstein have said) that his shooting looks better than ever. If this kid is finally healthy...watch out. Is probably our best all around player.

Watching him vs Oregon in the PK80 at full strength was fun as hell

Yeah. Its more one motion than it used to be. Hes not bringing the ball behind his head.

On the other hand, his follow through t
Looks kind of weak to me. But it might just be the weird shaky camera angle. Idk.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: AG is way better than Adams when fully healthy. Which is scary because Adams has the potential to be AAC POY.

I don't know about "way" better. But I will agree he has the ability to be a great player on a great TEAM. Adams is a great player, but I don't know if he's shown that he can be the leader of a great team yet.

Westbrook comes to mind. Not play style, just as an example of a great player who won't be the leader of a top-tier team.

His catch and shoot in this video scares me. He catches the ball at his chest, then brings the ball down to his waist (every time) before going into his shooting motion. No bueno.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Alterique also has a chance to be a lock down defender, especially in Hurley's style of aggressive man to man defense.

A dip in your 3 point shot is expected and taught by high level trainers. That dip is perfect. Quick and just to his waist.

Ray Allen dips the ball.

Steph, Booker, Reggie, Harden, you name it.

Klay sometimes doesn't.

You can’t just say that, his teammates and coaches have stunk. He’s already been on a successful team (2016), and he’s the best player in this league. You can’t fault him for having injured, bad teammates and coaches.

I'm thinking more of his poor shooting from 3 than anything.

Edit: to clarify. I think he's an awesome player but his personality and style of play necessitate another star player to be a top 25-type team consistently. He's still clearly the top dog in the league

I thought exactly the same thing Thirty Three His release looks great but bringing the ball down makes the release slower. Apparently, we aren't right on that. I took a look Ray jumper here (Used this video because it slows it down. I'd only stick with it a 10-20 seconds)


I'm thinking that bringing the ball down are part the mechanics that help him get completely vertical, which gives him a consistent release.

Anyway, otherwise AG looks good.

 

[superjohn]

He's really good but you can't tell anything from this video.

 

[tykurez]

His jumper always looked smooth. Pray to whatever god you have that he stays healthy. Even if it’s the toilet god.

 

[husky429]

Already did, see my revised post above.

Haha. I was editing at the same time. Good stuff.

 

[AntG168]

That jumper looks real smooth!

For what it’s worth he told me he is a “go”.
He is a wonderful kid. Can’t say enough about his good character.

True, it’s where it's released. A little deep can get you some spring on elevating your legs.

Maybe his shoulder hurt

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Alterique shoots just fine. No worries.
