Not quite butter but much improved.

 

[huskyfan224]

He is a stud

 

[Lefty2one]

That's a pretty big improvement. His footwork and balance look much, much better.

 

[NEforceUConn]

Seems to me to be shooting it as he jumps and not at the zenith of his jump.

 

[CL82]

Not quite butter ...

So… Parkay?

 

[Peacefrog]

Still looks funky with a low release but certainly more fluid. He just needs to be able to keep defenses honest. I hope he's been working on a short/mid-range pull-up too. That would help his game a lot.

Give me a little Shaun Marion.

AJ seems to be moving more fluidly, last year he seemed to be almost ready to tip over, like a young colt. Is it only me or does he look "football player buff".

 

[karstenkibbe]

Love it (except for my nervousness about the Roc Nation visit part).

That's how modern shooting is. No one shoots like Ray any more.

Why?

Not being a smart ass, just genuinely curious why that would have changed. Seemed to be pretty sound science.

Actually quick view I like his catch and release as well as that quick dribble and step back better than stand still-shoot. Again just breezing through that video I like the way he looks when he has less time.

Better no matter but we will see. Looks good though stud athlete no doubt hope he makes enough to give him space and confidence to the rack!

 

[HungryHu5ky]

I can’t believe he’s still shooting from his chest/chin… how have they not raised that up to proper position smh I only expect him to be spot up shooter but form still needs more work… but overall I just hope he’s more aggressive attacking the hoop looking to get fouled etc

 

[noeynox]

Still brings it up from his waist. Hard to get a shot off against a good man defender you would think. Phenomenal athleticism though.

Short answer: Steph Curry

Longer answer: power production. Shooting at the apex of your shot means you end up above your defender for the release, but you also have no upward momentum propeling the ball, so you have to shoot more with your arms. That is why you see much longer range shooting than you used to in the league... they can shoot from farther with less effort.

Nice video. Where’s the infamous floater though?

Thank you.

I think I actually understand that.

You should be a teacher or something.

I know it's been a while, but I can't see AJ in a thread title without first thinking Price

Steph Curry is at least 4 inches shorter than Andre. How does he do it? This is a serious question. I’m not being flip.

Edit: Seeing the answer above!

 

[Mr. French]

Fluidity and form looks WAY better. Release is lower than I prefer but I’m cool with it because he’s getting it off quickly and fluidly, which I’d say was not the case last year.

This kid is a worker. If he puts it all together look out.

I kind of get what he’s saying - look at where guys like Steph start their shot … chest or high shoulders. Andre takes it a step further though and starts it at his waist.

Yep. He learned me.

Imagine if he's had even a moderately decent coach as a kid who taught him to shoot. He'd be an NBA all-star already.
