Isaiah Cousins

[AdaSooner]

Am I the only one who thinks Isaiah's shooting motion has changed since his hand/wrist injury? His shot has always been a little flat. Now, it seems to me, he has more of a "sling-shot" release that has a flatter trajectory than before.

Am I imagining things that aren't there?

I could be imagining things too, but I was thinking the same.

Yes. Lost its smoothness it appears.

Not about the wrist but I did want to say I'm perplexed by cousins FT shooting. Last year he shot 81% and this year sits at 67%...how does that even happen? Did he just stop practicing them???

I noticed a late free throw he made was very flat. I was actually impressed with his ball handling tonight. He handled the press well. Gosh he's quick.

Strange, isn't it? By the same token, he's having his best season from three with a 45% average. Go figure!

He puzzles me. Some of his passes are a mystery. He occasionally loses his dribble. I dont remember him doing that last year. He just doesnt seem as smooth and assured as he should.

Exaaaactly! That's why I'm so perplexed! It's just strange to see such an accurate 3 point shooter struggle to shoot even 70% from the line.

The funny thing is I think he handles the ball better this year than he did last year. He and Woodard are the only ones I feel comfortable with when a team is trying to trap like WVU did. I thought he was looking up court and making good passes, and his speed let him beat his man off the dribble. He's a decent backup PG.
