some new new

Noticed that they do not show video regarding any form with respect to his jump shots. It just shows the start (catch and begin) and finish (ball goes into basket), no elevation, no hand placement, no shot).

 

[Cusefan0307]

His release on his shot kind of reminds me of Frank Howard who became a respectable shooter in year 3.

Is it me, or his handle is a bit high and loose?

I would not call that a loose handle. If you watch his game he is extremely effective maneuvering and dribbling in traffic. It is a tad high but it's tighter than MCW's was for sure. Also he uses his body well to shield defenders.

Yeah, he's "like" MCW, but clearly MUCH more physical than Mike was, or ever could be.

Yep. Also MCW would push the ball out (North South) more when driving where Kadary uses more moves and lateral mobility and handle to beat his man along with physicality.

Shaky potatoes?

If you told me ten years ago that short shorts would be back in...

 

[Orangezoo]

What an amazing penetrator. For all of the shooters we have out there (Buddy, Joe, Griffin - even toss in Bobby B, Woody), this is such a nice complement to the offense.

Good to see you around sir. I hope you and your family are doing well!!!

KR gonna be real good, like right away

and seeing tee posting is like

 

[Cusesky8214]

Yea I think people are sleeping on Kadary a bit...not sure how he will fit into the picture with the way JB uses his roster and with JG3/Buddy tandem and the addition of Griffin but I really hope JB can find some minutes for him and use his bench. That's a whole other discussion lol...but he can definitely help us and does certain things that none of our current guys are very good at...he could really set up JG3/Buddy with open looks if we let him handle the ball. Only so many players on the floor at once and finding the right balance...good problem to have unlike the past few years.

 

[SUOrangeSU]

Should be that 3rd guard. Really hope he makes it hard for JB to take him off the court.

Couldn't believe it but here we are. I have more than a few. I like the fit and look.

That is the key to our entire season along with Griffin's waiver

I haven’t been this excited about a recruit since Battle. I think he surprises from day one. NBA in 3 years.

I am high on him as well. If he had a good looking jumper, he could be one and done. I don’t think his handle is loose as others have mentioned. I think he baits defenders and then blocks with his huge shoulders as he goes by the defender.

 

[orangejunkie]

I like his potential but if his shooting is a little shaky in HS, I fear he will struggle next season when he hits the better, more athletic defenders in the ACC.

We will see. The competition level is very high being at Brewster, even in practice with how loaded that team was.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Is his shooting really shaky or does it just look odd because he seems to cuff the back of the ball at the beginning of the motion?

Lets all remember how good Shawn Marion was with a CYO league push shot.

I'm not sure if hes actually a bad shooter? Anyone have his stats? I know it's been tossed around on here about his form being bad or whatever but I've seen plenty of videos of him making shots. Hes more of a penetrator/around the rim type player but I think hes at least capable.

I have been vocal about his (and other player's shooting form, I am looking at you Andre Jackson). But, as you said, it might work for him. But, if the coaches shut him down because of his form, it could take a while to get it fixed.

 

[Cuse'91]

I think good shooting form is fairly important at the ACC level; tight defenses by excellent athletes will only exacerbate a poor outside shot. I remember many posters saying blah, blah " as long as it goes in" about Brycen Goodine's stroke too...

We’ll never know because JB never gave him a chance

His shot mechanics are funky - he is cuffing the top front of the ball at the start of his motion (the "front" of the ball in shooting is the side facing the basket). It is very difficult to change shooting mechanics. But, if your motion is repeatable, you can be a decent shooter, despite the form.

For the record, not many here are higher than I am on Kadary (except for maybe Ldavid). His crossover, creativity, ability to get to the rim and finish with either hand is elite. This is a skill set we haven't had since MCW. I will be very surprised if Kadary does not play meaningful minutes as a freshman.
