He did the hop...

Almost.
? There are only two catch and shoots (both from the corner) and he hops on both.
I was left with the impression that he 1-2s while watching him play(not this video specifically). Maybe I was wrong on this one. Have to watch more and will report back.
Oh, I thought you were just talking about the video posted. IDK on the rest.
When you catch the ball do you hop before you catch the ball or step into the ball to shoot. It's how you create your rhythm to shoot the ball off catch and shoots.
I just re-watched it, and I counted four catch & shoot, with hops on all four.
[MENTION=229]mellow[/MENTION] - Here's a video from Coach Nick talking about the hop and some other stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-ZZ7nuFTkE
And I think the 1-2 refers to the slight dip and then the shot. But I could be wrong about that.
No, it's in reference to stepping into the shot off teh catch. As the ball comes to you, you step up with your weak foot then when you catch you step into the shot with your lead foot.

thanks, I assume gathering yourself before the ball gets there makes your shot less likely to be blocked.
I think I have heard the jazz commentators mention Quin making this a point of emphasis, if I recall it was about Rodney Hood, and possibly Joe Ingles.
Edit: More impactful-the hop gives the player both feet as pivot options. Much harder to defend.
Maybe I am missing it but the catch and shoots I see in that instagram video he steps in to them he does not jump into them. 1-2 step should be catch and step lead foot then trail foot then shoot. Jump land should be landing with both feet in position to shoot, allowing a player to shoot or step with either foot in either direction. But sports specific skills are out of my wheelhouse, so I might be wrong in the terminology. That is how the training refers to it in plyometrics.
The only 2 I see are towards then end in the corner. Most of them he catches and takes one dribble then shoots.
I do wish someone would get these young players to land properly and not have the toes that inverted which leads to the knees having a valgus and injuries. Although I am guessing most of these guys it is partially due to be trained that way/looking cool but more likely having a weak posterior chain, particularly gluteus medius.
