Just a thought on 3-Point shooting woes....

Something I have been wondering about - an observation I have made during the games. A lot of the "3s" our players shoot in the games are several feet behind the three-point line. However, in shoot-arounds and when they practice - the "3s" are being shot from right up against the three-point line. Thus, I have wondered, why are they practicing shooting 3s from a different spot than where they shoot in the game?? Yes, some 3s are shot next to the line in games. But a majority are not.

We don’t have pure shooters. They all must step into their shots with shoulders square to hoop; that said they still can miss but at least they have a chance.

Jeff, u r probably on to something as to how close they position themselves to 3pt line - if I played I’d likely attempt to hover around the same distance when I let her fly.
