Wow. A lot of very athletic moves by various members of the team. And how about the sweet stroke on those 3 point shots!

It is interesting when you watch Byers. It is almost a set shot. Very little jump on the shot. Part of why I guess he can release so quickly.

Yeah Byers can really knock em down. Impressive form w good repetition of motion.

With a really quick release, you don’t have to get a lot of lift to be effective. That’s sort of Steph Curry’s style. In his case, he’s always giving up height to defenders, so a faster release is going to do more to improve his look at the basket than a couple of extra inches of ground clearance.

He’s one of the best that I’ve seen in not letting the ball drop below his waist and getting his shot up. Doing that alone makes you a better shooter. The one where he caught it up by his neck and basically threw it in was sick.

That is actually how my father taught me to shoot. Very similar form as Byers with little jump.
