    Not sure how you can make that observation from this video.

    Timestamp it.

    Because the closest thing we have to a down the line shot of it also includes the camera guy trying to track the ball in the air.

    Not show how those circumstances can lead to such certainty.

    I do not know if this training vid means anything outside of he is continuing to try and get better and only time will tell if we see the fruits of his hard work. However at least we know he is trying and gotta be honest not as sure about another player -- Sharpe who SEEMS and I could be wrong just wants to rest on the fact he is a freak athlete and HOPE he gets better.

    I will tell you this I would rather gamble on Scoot then Sharpe at this point cause one shows dedication to his craft while the other has kind of flat lined in terms of growth but I hope he can prove me wrong.

    What’s the point of the box? Is this the equivalent of players (not) guarding the fabled chairs?

    Scoot’s form looks great!

    Think its effectively just a visual cue to get his alignment right before shooting after the catch.

    He needed to work on this.

    The kid seems to work hard at his craft. I hope he becomes what people expected him to be.

    If Scoot can hit the 3 at 36%+ he will be a very good NBA player. He brings a ton of other positives to the court. His defense was very promising. Encouraging he had such an increase in his 3pt % last season.
