IUwins0708 Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Please don’t make this a pile on about him, there’s plenty of it in other threads. I just noticed when he shoots he doesn’t release the ball until after he is well on his way down from his jump. Anyone else notice this? That was a big no when I was being taught shooting fundamentals a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He struggles to catch it cleanly going to the rim, dribbling, and when setting up for a shot... bad hands = uncomfortable shooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red light time from Archie. McHoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDIUFAN Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 I haven’t notice that but great call. I have notice that few of your guys square up to shot. A lot of floating sideways as they shoot. Not a lot but their not square to the basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a big no when I was being taught shooting fundamentals a long time ago. I was pretty good at baseball growing up. Summer ball between soph and junior years I developed a baseball equivalence to yips in golf. Played 3rd base my entire life and couldn't throw the ball. All mental. Worked my way out of it. To me that's what I see going on with Justin. Plenty of things in the brain right now. Last year he just stepped up and shot which is the reason so many were singing his praises. Right now the kid has so much going on. Feel bad for him as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Ballin Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 He deffinatly has a hitch in his shot. Its like he jumps, gets to the apex and remembers oh ya, um not dunking and flicks his wrist way late instead of it being nice and fluid and starting his shot on the way up and releasing at the top. Romeo has a little different version of the same problem. Make them take "jump shots" with like a 10lb or 15lb medicine ball. They'll break their wrists or learn how to use their whole body in sync to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxnJxn Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Second possession yesterday. OSU leaving Justin wide open, so he takes a 3. Crowd literally groaned in unison. Didn't go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuckerkorn Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 I wonder if shooting mechanics are actually taught anymore. Thinking back to the IU teams in the 70's and 80's I think of guys like Whittman and Kitchel who had good and consistent form (forearm vertical, smooth stroke, good follow through). It seems over time that there have been a number of young phenom players that have terrible form, but really good accuracy and that has de-emphasized the desire to work on form/mechanics. It maybe that some players can be good shooters with "unique" shooting, but I have to believe that overall shooting could be better across the board (especially FT shooting) with old-school shot coaching. Time for my Geritol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indykev Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 It almost looks like he takes the ball behind he head and throws it on his jump shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addictedtoIU Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Overall Justin's skill level is low for his size. I'm sure his dad would disagree, but that's my observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StLHoosier Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 I said it in the game thread yesterday, but if JS could just learn how to shoot, pass and dribble, he would be a pretty good ball player. I think he's the epitome of what is wrong with the team. The team has great athletes but lacks true basketball players. We have a couple, but for the most part, we're just great athletes.
