I always released the ball higher and would work on even raising it some and trying to get more lift on my jump shot. I’m always thinking about what could have been if I just sped everything up and shot it from lower. I had no problem shooting from down there. I’d do it when shooting absolute bombs in a game of horse etc. It just never occurred to me that the speed would make up for the lack of height on the release. My son played some college ball and we had him doing the Curry model. It served him well. He’s only 5’11” and his jumper pretty much never got blocked. Crazy what an advancement Curry made to shooting for the smaller guys.
