Yeah from what I see he needs to develop consistency in his release. His shots tend to wander from side to side, that is usually a release issue. If he fixes that, which is not a difficult fix really at his level, then the distance part (missing long or short as opposed to side to side) tends to fix itself with varied shots around the court. I have no doubt he can do it, I just hope they make it a priority for him to work on.

One more thing I would like to see him work on is breaking down the defense in the lane then looking specifically to pass. Often we see him get in the lane, get stymied and toss up a bad shot rather than finding the open man. He needs to learn to look for that when he has drawn multiple defenders. I am not saying he never does that, because he does, but he needs to get more consistent in it.

I really think he would benefit a lot by watching tape of Harden breaking down the defense with his drives.

And by witnessing it firsthand over an entire playoff series. Dude is always in school. It's the best part about facing the hardest team in the league in round 2.
