somehow, i don't know how, you bend your knees inward a little bit. i don't do squats very often, but i am guessing that you don't either because it seems like your center of gravity shifts incorrectly when you bend down to get your legs into your shot. legs are, BY FAR, the most important aspect of shooting. it is where you get ALL of your power.

think of it like this. when you bend down, from the side, i see a 90-degree angle forming like half of a diamond. however, what you should see when you are getting deep and bending your legs is a 90-degree angle forming like a box, like you are sitting on an imaginary stool. however, i think when you bend to get into your shot, it would seem more like you are leaning... if you shot a zillion shots and eventually your legs got sore, i'd imagine that your quads would get sore-- but what should get sore is your ass and your hamstrings, because that is what propels you.

i hope i am not being too hard on you, i am just spouting off everything that i can think of. it seems to me like if you were able to get lower and have a stronger base, you would be more effective blocking out (i think you are generally a good rebounder and get good position anyways, but obviously getting lower and having more push from your base would help you vs bigger players). additionally, it would seem to make your shooting better because you'd be able to get more range (thus shortening the amount of time you spend loading the ball because you are getting much less power from your arms) and you'd be more explosive starting with your core center of gravity.

speaking of your loading, it seems too long... when i was in about the 8th grade, i had a good high school coach tell me that the ball should go from triple threat up to your shot immediately, there should be no loading only momentum use. now, this is pretty much an exaggeration, but his point is correct-- the less that you actually have to "**** the ball back" the quicker your release will be. you basically have to find the right mechanics on your release and then shoot it hundreds of thousands of times, and then your release will be reasonably quick (or settle for a few thousand times and it'll get better fast). i do not have a quick release, my legs are weak and i **** the ball back way too far, so take my advice for whatever it is worth!

lol, i don't know what other people have said but feel free to post this on the forums, though i guess it would only be to add to feedback, just giving you permission ahead of time.

This. I never noticed it before playing with you, but your feet are like 2x shoulder-width when you jump. It throws everything out of whack because your balance is all over the place. Straight up, straight down.

In so many words: fix the leg stuff.

Every athletic motion in every sport depends first on a solid foundation, allowing for efficient, repeatable energy transfer from your big muscles. It doesn't matter what you do with your arms; if you don't have a solid, in-balance leg drive, the rest is just guesswork. And if you ever to decide to take up golf (which you should), that's the first thing you'll need to know.

The lesson, as always: do your damn squats
