We take bad shots. Smith had a runner that he just threw towards the basket. We missed other point blank shots because we are afraid of using the backboard. One TJD shot was taken as he was bumped on the release. Had he used the glass the ball could have still gone in. Instead, the ball hit off the rim. I had a perfect view from my seat.
Devonte likes to add a degree of difficulty by fading left, right, or away from the basket. Runners without using the glass aren't easy. But instead of a runner, square up and take a good shot. I took a picture that is rare. The picture is of Race squaring up and shooting the ball correctly from 4 feet. He made it. It wasn't a jump hook runner, but an old fashioned jump shot.
The worst offenders are Smith and Green. I believe they are also our most selfish players. Instead of passing or taking a good shot under control, they would rather force a shot that requires perfect timing and calculating the release point as the distance to the basket is constantly changing. The shot can be made easier if the angle allows use of the backboard. In their rush to take the shot, they take what they can get and hope it somehow goes in.
I don't know how Archie addresses bad shooting choices or technique during video study. If he isn't pointing it out, it won't get better. I'm hoping he is pointing it out and a few are hard headed and not getting it. Those will eventually move on. Time will tell.
