Hayward/Burks to play in the Indy Pro-Am

Nice. He looks like he could be a prototypical SG.

That first 3 he took was incredibly off balance for no reason. I know that has been one of his bad habits, very JR Smith-esque.

I disagree about that being a habit of his. I've watched a lot of Colorado games in the last month and I don't think I saw him do that even once on threes. Whoever said that is either completely wrong or the 10+ games I've watched are some sort of really bizarre anomaly.
Even on two point jumpers, he only did it a few times and only when necessary. Never on open jump shots.

I think Hornaceck talked about it in an interview and how he told Burks to work on his core strength to improve his balance on shots.

Obviously I will defer to Hornacek, in terms of his technique - if, indeed, that is who made that claim - but in terms of him fading like you saw in that clip, it wasn't a problem for him in college.

Burks creates good separation from defenders in the mid-range area, but he has a tendency to shoot off balance. He tends to kick his legs out on attempts and not square his shoulders to the basket. His shot selection also leaves something to be desired—he makes just enough bad shots to lead him to believe he should be taking more off-balance, contested attempts, but not enough to lead his team to a better than 7-7 record in the Big 12 thus far.

Again, if we're talking about him fading on an open jumper like in that video, not a problem.

I call BS on Colorado being on T.V. 10 times the past year.

Again, if we're talking about him fading on an open jumper like in that video, not a problem.

I didn't realize he was that wide open until you said it. I thought he was covered and just took a bad shot and faded away. I now realize that the defender was walking about 5 feet off him, my bad.

I saw on twitter that Hayward and Burks are suppose to play each other today.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Who ya pullin for?

I don't know. Hopefully both coaches have enough sense to play them at PG.
