Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 3343357, member: 6696"] Bouk's shot isn't "set" at all. It's modern. Jumping high to shoot isn't what the best shooters do any more because it messes with accuracy. He releases on the way up of a comfortable jump, rather than at the peak of a jump, so that he optimizes the effeciency of the shot--uses the energy from his legs easily. The way he shoots will allow him to extend his range well beyond the nba line in time. Bouk could stand to raise his release point a little though, especially in the mid-range. The old-school Ray style shot doesn't optimize the energy from legs and minimizes range. Because he shot at the top of the shot when he was momentarily stopped at the peak, he had to use his arms A LOT more than shooters today would. Which we all know makes the accuracy go down. [/QUOTE]
