JJ's FT Shooting Form

[dollarbill44]

Just have him imbibe some mushrooms of a magical variety. His spirit journey will bump him over 80% when he comes back to earth.

I'm half-joking.

He might need something stronger, like Ibogaine.

JJ has always struggled with shooting, so there must be some kind of mechanical flaw.

But seeing those free throws last night... I have to ask the question, is he impaired? Is he dealing with some kind of shoulder [or whatever] injury that hasn't been disclosed, that might account for TWO airballs?

There’s nothing wrong with his shoulder that affects his shot. Most good free throw shooters mostly shoot with their wrist. Bad free throw shooters have too many moving parts with elbows and wrists. You can watch guys in wheelchairs who have good free throw shooting form routinely make foul shots despite being otherwise immobilized. It’s 100% mental.

Starling should petition for the Elam ending lol

I love Kyle but I can’t remember a college player with worse form. If he shoots higher than 50% on FTs I’ll be very surprised. JJ has shot 70% over the last 2 years which is not horrible but not what you expect from your SG. I remember announcers talking about his shooting hitch last year.
