    I know they have talked about this through training camp all, but it's nice to see Carter finally putting the work in</p>

    He looked impressive against Big Mac (Curry) and Cheeseburger (Randolph) and the rest of their squad</p>

    Here's more info</p>

    Carter is about to start his 10th season, and he's doing something he's never done before: He's working with a shooting coach. It makes perfect sense, of course: Bob Thate is among the very best at what he does. But why now?</p>

    "We're just getting up shots, making sure my mechanics are proper," he explained. "He's not changing anything, but it helps."</p>

    Let's guess: He keeps hearing the same thing throughout these sessions -- balance, balance, balance.</p>

    "No. It's nothing to do with balance. It's just mechanics," he said. "I still have confidence shooting it however, and I've worked on it long enough so that I can do it (off-balance), but it helps to have someone making sure the mechanics are correct. So I pulled him aside and he said he's willing to do so."</p>

    Actually, if you know the dedicated Coach Thate, he's been dying for Carter to ask.</p>

    Big grin: "Yeah, I know," Carter said. "And you know, it's paid off."</p>

    Where'd you get that lil info from..? We love Sources </p>

    That's cool that he's willing to work on his shot with a coach, and to make it even better...even with being in the league for a while.</p>

    I hope this doesn't stop him from trying to attack the basket.</p>

    Nice....It is exiting to hear that Carter is working on his game and not sitting around doing nothing.

    I like to hear that Vince improves his shots, he had struggled his jumpers for the last two seasons,</p>

    as long as he is a good shooter, he will be a powerful swingman.</p>

    No matter it's his 10th season, he still wants to improve, just like Jason, improving his jumpers.</p>

    Sounds like the shot looked good according to pre-season games.</p>

    Yep, just what Carter needs - more confidence in his jump shot. Maybe he'll actually start trusting his shot from the outside, instead of just driving all the time.</p>

    Ugh, he's like the Anti-Dwyane. I can't wait till December 15th, when we can all start making up ridiculous trades that aren't actually going to happen.</p>
