NAW's only weakness was shooting

Haven't really studied the science of it all but with a higher arcing shot it seems the ball travels further on its path to the rim... and would lead to some additional variance... making it a harder shot. There will be a few shots that rim out when you are outside of the ideal arc... either too flat or too much arc... but it won't be a huge difference.

If it works it works... I just need to see it more to believe.

Actually only shot distance affects targeting variation (or recoil range). Its just 2D trigonometry (launch angle on x/z is all that matters for accuracy and y angle and force determine the distance)

I'm sure you are right... but when I shoot a 10 foot shot normally it goes in a lot... when I shoot a 10 foot floater it goes in less #maths

I also just don't remember a lot of great shooters that put the ball up that high. There have been a few of course.
 
his decision-making is pretty poor. When he makes a pass I cringe. Sometimes they are wow other times I throw up a little in my mouth.

If you drop the same ball from 6 feet and from 7 feet, the ball dropped from 7 feet will have a higher bounce because of gravity.

A breakaway rim may absorb some of the energy of a descending rainbow shot, while a line drive shot from the middle of the floor just skips off the rim and bounces hard off the backboard. That's what I'm saying

There's an optimal angle. NAW does not shoot at the optimal angle. Shooting both below or above that angle will result in harder misses.

Sounds like you need to work on your floater then. ;)

This is true if it hits directly on the front rim. Occasionally if it hits right on the back rim as well. You won’t get friendly rolls but you can get shots that hit the rim go straight up and go in.

Okur's arc was up there. Boozer had a huge arc.

Im a pretty great shooter. I cant get the damn floater down though. I gave up as well.

Pullup threes are worth more and more fun... if I'm gonna shoot a bad shot that is my go to.
