[QUOTE="WyattEarp, post: 1812325, member: 748573"] I think you’re right.I looked at a couple of his highlight reels…(sadly I was only able to listen to the radio against EIU) :( It looks to me like he has a tendency to sometimes wrap his left, off-hand/guide-hand around the backside of the ball; rather than having the off-hand more to the side of the ball. (In other words, this grip makes it harder to get the off-hand the heck out the way of his shooting hand.) Also, if he is momentarily late getting that off-hand, off of the ball it can push right. It can also, slightly drag through the ball in the opposite direction; creating a simultaneous downward spin that runs counter to the desirable backspin of the shooting hand. But that’s just me pretending to be a shot-doctor. Lol The examples I was looking at were in his jumpshot. I’m curious to actually SEE a game to watch his free-throw mechanics…but I digress. I think overall he has an average to fairly good command of his shot. I don’t think he does it all the time…but occasionally it looks like it crops up. [/QUOTE]
