Looks like to me that he is not quite squaring up.

Not sure what you mean by "fight himself?"
I did notice that he was off balance on several of the shots he took in the first half and early in the second half. By that I mean that he was jumping sideways at the point of his release instead of staying square to the basket. I think that may have something to do with why his shooting percentage is not what it should be in some games. He found his stroke at the right time, though.

I mentioned in the game thread that some of his shots do not look like the same. Agree he is not always squaring up and his release point was different on some of his earlier shots. Late in the game, when we had good ball movement, he was able to catch and shoot in rhythm and looked good.
I like the fact that he did not let those misses bother him. He is a critical player for us and just needs to shoot it in rhythm and he will be fine.

When player shot well they are always looking for a better point on there release. Playing there own shot. I used to watch him before games when he was at Atlantic Shores and he did a lot of hand movements on the ball. I believe over the year he tries to hard to grip the ball in the right place instead of just letting his natural motion take over. When the body slows down later in the game and you are tired the mind slows down your motion that allows a better motion. Hope that helps.

I remember when I played it took me a long time to slow things down. In the forst part of the game everything is so fast because players are not tired. Once you get to the second half players are not setting picks, grabbing and working as hard . That is when he gets he best looks..
