I can touch the net at one gym, and can't at the others. The one where I can touch the net has an 8' rim.

Good, I hate long distance anything.
It's also core strength--abs, back, + shoulders, and also calves. It's not about planting super hard, but springing upward. I had more of a baseball player physique though, I wasn't real skinny or long.

one thing I use to do in highschool was I qould do layup drills and box jumps with ankle wieghts on.. never shoot with them on.. it will totally jack up your jump shot.. but doing drills with them on really helps. plus its a little funnier then just sprints.
When I ran cross country one year in high school, it seems like I literally lost my ability to sprint. It is very different muscle training.

I did that in high school a bit until a coach told me it can put a lot of strain on your knees.
I had a partial miniscus tear in my left knee when I was 21, and I never had the same springiness after that. Try to avoid that.
Yeah I said this in the Draft thread. He's a very real possibility for us if Schroeder is somehow out of our reach. His best attribute is standing on the 3pt line and just putting up shots at good % (38% in college). He's athletic enough that you'd think he could improve his defense. He screams Spurs/Jazz type player, and now that Lindsey is at the helm, I think there's a good possibility we pick him at #14. BTW he'll also be the BPA there.

that could explain why my knee hurt every morning now... my coach orginally told me wieght vests were better, but i didnt have the money for that.
Here's a fun fact: the finger motions of shooting and handling are very similar to playing the saxophone. Because I was a serious saxophone player for a while, I always had good hand strength and finger control. It definitely helped with my shooting touch. I think the difference between great shooters and good shooters is in the hands, basically how they balance the ball and its release trajectory. I see a lot of players just flop their wrist and fingers on the release like they're waving at someone. I think ideally the shot release should be more subtle than that and the fingers should point forward and out instead of down. At the least, this makes it easier to shoot off balance and from different stances.
Just thought I'd pass that along.

Muhammed told @slcdunk he was told by Corbin the Jazz were looking for a scorer and who was versatile on the wing.
I wouldn't like getting Bazz. He seems like he'll be a high usage, low efficient player like Al. No wonder Corbin was talking to him.
