though a picture of one shot is, in my opinion, not worth a thousand words; jared may need to work on that form a little. needs to have elbow in, ball on pads of fingers, and left hand lower. jared is young, though, and anything productive learned should come easily.
the best basketball camp that i attended was run by charlie huggins, bob's father. it was a shooting champ up in the new philly/dover area. most of the time was spent working on the shooting form without a basketball. the best shooting drill that i ever learned i learned there. he would have us shoot from right in front of the basket. you would work for perfect form, which resulted in perfectly straight posture, a fully flicked wrist, and a ball that never touched the rim. the positioning of the hands were integral. we also worked on the shooting form that should return the ball to you without having to go up and get it. that is, there should be enough spin on the ball that it would return to you after swishing. if you can regularly return the ball to you after shooting free throws, many things must be right.
ehh. so much for my nostalgia.
