I was thinking the same thing when I read the comment. There's something about the shot that looks funny, but it's going in so I'm not sure it should be classified as a glaring weakness.
Bill and Jalen's Jazz Preview
- Thread starter zyzz
- Start date
His shot is not totally broken, but he doesn't set his feet right a lot of the time and shoots off balance. His shot is improved(purely form-wise and technique) a lot from his U18 games. He used to shoot it consistently on his way down from the jump and the shot used to be very flat. I don't know if it is Jazz coaching or his personal coach that he hired that improved some of those things.
Here's one more. Bill talking to Chad Ford. Bill says about Exum that he sees him as "6'6'' Dwayne Wade". He also mentions that he thinks 76s will take him because they don't mind being bad next year and they are looking at the long term, "taking players that are projects"...He also seemed really excited about how young he is and said "In year 3 he's going to be a 21 year old NBA player" ...
https://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=11126598 (the part about Exum starts at about 33:50)
So once the Celtics got Smart, Exum is no longer a long term project, he's a bust right now guy who's gonna get killed by Smart and all the other awesome prospects that got drafted after him.

There seem to be fewer moving parts now compared to his older videos. Feet/shoulder are squared better, straight up, no weird flailing. A little mechanical currently, but it's easy to see the changes/improvements he's made to his form. I wonder if Novak is helping Gordo and Exum with their shot mechanics, especially since the changes they've made have been to clean up the unnecessary motion (Novak's shot is pretty compact).

I think that preview was buffoonish ... Bill Simmons is too arrogant for his own good, and Jalen has a good personality but somewhat of a dimwit.
he will quickly change his stand. he can easily go with 'we finally got to see him. there was no tape on him' excuse.
Surprised the rage hasn't continued...
The outdated Bill and Jalen records of teampreviews of the Magic and another one contain not so subtle Jazz bashing in some form.

Simmons da Gawd.
So that's two flip-flops in the matter of 4 months for a guy who Simmons himself said is a long-term project. Very impressive! Vegas should offer odds about how many times Simmons will flip-flop on Exum before the end of the year.... end of the season? End of Exum's career?
