Trey Lyles's Jumper

[LogGrad98]

He lacks arm strength. The push in the shot comes from trying to get the muscles in the chest and shoulders to compensate for lack of arm strength. Lots of kids have this problem as they just aren't strong enough to get the ball to the rim, but it can develop into a habit and affect the shot even when the players is older and more developed. Might be his problem, and it is correctable as long as he has the strength.

This is a Grantland article about how Hornacek worked with Korver

Any chance Horny gets fired if the Suns are terrible this year? I'd love to have him back as our lead assistant

His left hand twists when he shoots in an awkward way.
Hope he can fix that.

I really hope his shot comes around.

I love his ability to take guys off the dribble, run the floor on the break (even be the one initiating the break), and his passing.
I like his size and fluidity too. (Wish he was a little more athletic, but if he were then he probably gets drafted before us anyway)

If he can get a good consistent outside shot then we have a very good player on our hands...... If not, then meh. He will be decent backup

I blame UK's shooting coach for his awfulness so far.

I blame Dr. Jones.

The Jazz have worked with players to widen their base when they shoot. Trey is straight up when he shoots and he doesn't shoot exactly the same way every time. I see promise, but he is going to have to put a lot of work into his shot.

I had the same thought about his athleticism last night. He's a very fluid athlete and runs the floor extremely well, but I was wishing he was more explosive. Like you say, though, if he were a 6'10"+ Aaron Gordon, he'd have been a top 5 pick.

His shot sometimes seems to have an arc and sometimes seems flat. Mostly flat from what I have seen.

So, which one is it. His shot sometimes seems to have an arc. Sometimes it's flat. But MOST of the time it IS flat. I am getting mixed signals here. I am going to add my thoughts.

No two of Lyles shots are not on fire. Think about it.
