Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4396041, member: 12088"] This is a good question. I can remember a couple of games in the second half of last season in which they ran a play to get Nika an open midrange jump shot. Liv or Aaliyah would set a screen at the foul line and Nika took a pass, dribbled twice and fired. Her shooting form looked like a "work in progress," but it was clear this was a project that was getting some attention in practice even last spring. She probably needs to work on the basic form of a jump shot -- she has a good standing set shot -- the footwork, bringing the ball up above her head, the stroke, releasing at the top of the jump, and so on. But these are all things that improve with practice. Make a few of those early in the season and her confidence will surely skyrocket... as will Geno's. [/QUOTE]
