He got his shot back about 5 games ago. His injuries probably caused him to compensate for them and once that occurs he had to regain his old form which he has done. I can't wait to see him next season as I believe he has All ACC talent. So happy for him as im sure he has put in an enormous amount of work to get back to this point.
You are hilarious! Never stop posting.
He's actually been very good since Dec 1st but I don't think many realized because he dug himself such a hole with his shooting in Nov and entered Dec as a .050 shooter from three. He shot 45% for three in December and is shooting 40% from three overall since Dec 1 and is just now getting over .300 for the season because of his start. He's been solid the last 2 months but you can definitely see the confidence growing of late. When he plays like this we are a tough team to beat.
Judah never takes an in rhythm jump shot. He’s always hunting fouls. It hurts his shooting.
He’s not “practicing” but he worked out before practice and looked pretty good. I don’t think he’s full speed yet but he looks damn good. He’s going to be fun.
Judah's mechanics are definitely off on jump shots from distance.
Yeah, I'm sure that's the image that immediately comes to mind for most...
nice
I know what you mean. But it's more that he rotates his elbow away from vertical slightly. The longer the jumper the more he rotates it out. That imparts the sideways spin. That is likely a habit from when he was younger and needed to get more behind the shot to reach. It's a very tough habit to break.
Who can say much about Chance? No one has seen him play in 18 months.
If Judah could be a little more selective about when he hunts for fouls & use those opportunities to instead get a good shot off, he'd really accelerate his game.
But he actually does draw fouls and get to the line at such a tremendous rate that I can live with it.
Just another reminder that we had multiple posters on this board comparing Starling to Louie freakin McCroskey, saying he was the worst shooting guard we had since McCroskey, and expressing little faith he would improve this season and no faith that his shooting would improve at all. Even though the kid was a McDonalds All American and rated as a top 10 transfer, they lost all faith less than a month into the season. JB hanging on for several years past when he should have retired really broke large parts of this fanbase. We have a first year head coach and a team comprised of mostly sophomores and there’s still so much negativity. This is a very young team and the fanbase needs to try to have some patience. The last time we had two sophomores leading the team in scoring was 1954-55!
