Lol what? Never heard this before. There's nothing wrong with his jump shot? It's quick and he has good form. Guy had the third best 3PT% in the NBA this season too. Elite level finishing and added top notch shooting this past season which was the biggest question mark for him entering the league (and the only reason he wasn't a lottery pick).
And open shots? He's a bonifide shot creator. It's not like Maxey just stands there and shoots open threes all the time, he has crazy quickness and shot creating ability to pull up on his own, as we all saw in the playoffs when he led the team in scoring in the postseason.
Pretty good chance we see Maxey at 20+ PPG this season.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1I1rutw4f8sHis form is god awful, his ability to drive is what is creating enough space for that ugly ass lean forward, not facing wth your body type of shot.. Its ugly as fuck and I have yet to see one star Guard have such poor mechanics..
Again, he will be good but he is capped by this awful form. Good defense will make it almost impossible to get distance shot off leaning forward that way with the ball in front of you..
If you can show me one star guard that has had a glaring problem like this, I will concede. Sometimes his fade away looks bearable, sometimes it looks like a middle schooler.. Similar to Marcus Smarts 2pt shots.. We will see. Harden getting back into shape may help him a lot tho with separation enough to be efficient or catch people on the move..
Edit; its never good when a fat bald youtuber says that your shot reminds him of his own shot...
